Wow, you all really jumped to some serious conclusions!
Also according to that report, the discrimination was against disabilities - they have a child who is at high risk if they contract COVID-19 and they were doing their job as parents to protect themselves from the virus while out, so they wouldn't catch the illness and pass it down to their disabled child at home.

I get that people want to have "no masks required" but to say "no masks allowed" is - well not surprising actually. It's Texas, afterall. "My body my choice" only applies if you want to restrict everyone else's rights.

Good question. We took the Sumter Landing Boat tour last month and a visiting couple with a child took the tour wearing masks and the asked the guide if he was vaccinated and wanted him and everyone else to keep their distance since the child was not vaccinated. I thought the same thing as you. Why on earth would you get on a boat where you are going to be elbow to elbow with others if you are worried about covid transmission.

Wearing an athletic cup will keep you just as safe from Covid as will wearing a (non-N95) mask.

You are surprised someone jumped to a negative conclusion? You must be new here!

Maybe restaurants should inform patrons that their retaurant is a mask only, or mask free restaurant. Give them a PERSONAL CHOICE before entering.

Wait, what are you doing on this forum, seriously, no reasonable post are permitted, and can result in permanent banning. Only argumentative or inflammatory posts in the future please.

I dunno, maybe they should submit their news list to someone (you?) for approval on the merit of "worthwhileness".

I wonder what the truth is? Perhaps the couple are looking for a financial settlement from the restaurant? It wouldn't
be the first time that's happened.

As for their race, no one said what their race is, but if they're black, well, BLM is considering protests against a NYC restaurant that turned away black customers who weren't vaccinated. So we have a scenario of "when racially-motivated grievances collide".

The restaurant owner said it was his place's dress code that masks are not allowed in his business. CNN interviewed him or someone did and put it on CNN.

It had nothing to do with the couple's race nor perceived disability. The owner knew nothing about their kid at home.

If there was a no mask sign then you don’t go to that restaurant expecting to be allowed to wear a mask unless you can’t read then you have to be confronted. There is a pawn/ gun store right here in Wildwood that does not allow masks
