Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July and is an opportunity to honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. Why July? It marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, landmark legislation that broke down barriers to inclusion in society. Those of us who live with a disability do not need pity. We all need respect, accessibility, and opportunity to participate in society, using our gifts.
It's not just about wedding cakes. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects Freedom of Speech. However, this is preceded by "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" In a pluralistic nation, people who do business in the public world must serve all people regardless of their personal beliefs. This also applies to public accommodations.
