The subject at hand was whether or not people, even ones who make messes, should have access to public bathrooms, not whether or not you should be expected to have someone over for dinner.

I mean, let's be honest, I'm relatively certain I wouldn't want you as a guest at my home either. I still think you should have access to places to take a dump when you need to.

The question isn't about " hav[ing] someone over for dinner"; but whether you let them use your bathroom.

Sounds like you have a different attitude wrt your own, private facilities compared to the public, common ones. Maybe the difference is you don't have to clean the public toilet?

The difference is home vs not home.
I think you may be overestimating the difference this distinction makes to the minimum wage person who has personally clean the bathroom.
You can highlight any difference to justify it; but what difference does "home" make except it it precious to you vs the commons which are not?
You want your sons and daughter in stalls beside junkies?
