I thought I had pretty well exhausted all material that I might use for my 2010 Blogging Against Disablism Day (BADD) post until I turned up this rather odd news item, Gay dogs not welcome, on the Adelaide Now news site.
Read the article and judge for yourself, but I think that even if you believe the story that these people thought the man had a gay (not guide) dog, then they were guilty of sex discrimination if not blatant disablism.
So now we do not only have direct disablism, but we have disablism by proxy - making barriers for assistance dogs.
May I suggest that you now go to the BADD site and have a read through some of the fine contributions there - and maybe write a post of your own if you haven't already done so.
