Because it's the law! If you don't like it, work to change the law. But good luck. Disabled people have been discriminated against longer than people of color. They have rights that need to be upheld. If you are afraid of dogs and walk into a resto with a service dog, walk out.

I am responding ONLY to the comment" Why is it that the supposed disabled person gets all this empathy and a pass" and not about anything else--not the OP's post or anything other than the comment about people with disability "getting a pass." The term "supposed disabled person" requires a response, in my opinion, as it is very pejorative in the context of the post.
