I know it's not a choice to be handicapped. It's not a choice to be black either. The civil rights activists forced business owners to cater to them, even when the business owners did not want to. I think that's a shame. The ADA forces businesses to build accommodations for the handicapped. I'm sure you disagree, but I see that as government intervention and I think it works against property rights of business owners.
The actual story here, of course, is about homosexuals, and I do see that as a matter of choice -- which provides an even stronger argument for why a business should not have to cater to homosexual activists.
I strongly oppose anyone who claims that homosexuals are part of a civil rights struggle, "just like Martin Luther King". I think that's abhorrent.
I do recognize that the handicapped are part of a civil rights struggle. I may not agree with you on the ADA, but I would not lump you in with the homosexual activists.
The vast majority of blacks are offended when gays try to link their cause with that of the Civil Rights movement, it’s one reason why blacks vote against Gay Marriage in much greater numbers than whites.
“...The actual story here, of course, is about homosexuals...”
This is the reason I was a little miffed at the “disabilities” section of your post...
