No. The federal government has set up a number of protected classes. Handicap status is one of them. It is illegal to discriminate against a person solely because of their membership in a protected class..
I find much to like about this law. But as I noted in an earlier post, I’m not 100% on board because such laws do infringe on property rights.
I’ve given this some thought. (I’m retired, so I’ve got the time!) If I were in the Senate when this law was up for a vote, I think I’d scratch my head a bit, then vote in favor of the law.

OK, so you support the law itself. It has been shown that wearing these stupid masks increases your intake of CO2, which can cause many different problems. Anyone who wants to tell one of these businesses to stick their masks where the sun don’t shine is perfectl justified in doing so merely on the wording of the ADA itself. Back when the mask insanity was still prevalent here in Texas my response to any dufus wanting me to wear a mask was politely, but firmly informed ‘I am medically exempt’, and I went about my day. I don’t give a damn what the business or government wants when I’ve been provided such a poorly written and massively overbroad club with which to beat them with.
