Discrimination? I think so!

My father and mother met when they were teenagers at the campground my family goes to, Riverdale Farm Campsites in Clinton. Ever since my mother was pregnant with me, I have been camping. My brother has been an employee at Riverdale since May 2008. Yesterday and today, my brother is sitting at Riverdale's booth at the Northeast Recreational Vehicle and Camping Show. So yesterday, my father, my mother, my boyfriend, and I wanted to go to it. However, we were unable to because my boyfriend is in a walking boot, and they said that they do not have wheelchairs when I called and asked yesterday. At the end of last semester, my boyfriend broke his fibula while playing hockey. He misplaced his ankle and had to undergo surgery. He was in a cast and using crutches for about six weeks, and last week, he got his cast off and is now in a walking boot and using crutches. Getting around with the walking boot is easier than it was with the cast, but he is still getting used to it, hence he wanted to use a wheelchair. I do not understand how the Northeast Recreational Vehicle and Camping Show does not have wheelchairs. It is being held at the CT Convention Center. There, trade shows, conventions, and business meetings are held. On their website, they claim they are handicap accessible, saying that they are wheelchair accessible, have elevators and ramps, their bathrooms are wheelchair accessible, and that they have designated parking spaces for individuals with disabilities. Shopping malls and stores like Walmart have wheelchairs. How come the CT Convention Center does not? They are discriminating. They are not being handicapped friendly. I am sure that they do not care that they are discriminating but they should, one, not only because it is wrong, but two, because ultimately, they are losing business. By having wheelchairs, they are making individuals with disabilities' who use wheelchairs lives easier by them not having to get their wheelchair into their vehicle, not having to get it out of their vehicle, and repeating those two steps when they are leaving the CT Convention Center to go home. By not having wheelchairs, they are losing business on people, like my boyfriend, who does not have their own wheelchair. Also, they are leaving a bad taste in people's mouths that are or know someone who is being discriminated against because of this. By word of mouth by these people, etc., they are losing more business. If they do have wheelchairs at the CT Convention Center, than they should state it on their website and communicate better with events like the Northeast Recreational Vehicle and Camping Show that they do have them on site to rent, where they are located, and the process. Because my boyfriend is in a walking boot and the CT Convention Center does not have wheelchairs, my father, my mother, my boyfriend, and I missed out on going to the Northeast Recreational Vehicle and Camping Show. My boyfriend is not going to be in a walking boot forever, so we can always go next year. But imagine individuals with disabilities who do need to use a wheelchair forever. Imagine all of the different events they have to miss out on forever. It is not right that my father, my mother, my boyfriend and I had to miss out on the Northeast Recreational Vehicle and Camping Show yesterday, and it is not right that individuals with disabilities who do need to use a wheelchair forever have to miss out on all of these different events because of their disability. Public places need to become more accommodating, like shopping malls and Walmart!
