Me: “Here are some free masks if you didn’t bring your own.”
Father: “We can’t, we have medical issues.”
Son: “What? No we don’t.”
Hey so fun fact, the ADA does not protect your right to go inside a business/building without a mask during a pandemic. If you’re disabled and unable to wear a mask, the business or organization must do their best to provide an equivalent service – say curbside pickup of groceries or a food order, or providing the same information on paper for a nature center. They do not have to let you inside.
As a disabled person who educates on the ADA, this abuse of disability law by abled people who clearly don’t give a flying fuck about disabled people and our civil rights infuriates me. If your center requires a mask and they won’t (or can’t) wear one, kick them out.
