CF Foundation attendance policy

Below is a snippet from the CF foundations page regarding indoor events attendance policy. "To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time." I'm a huge supporter of the foundation and its mission, but as someone with CF, I find this policy not only demeaning and insulting, but discriminatory. We are adults, and capable of making decisions about the risks we choose to take in life. If we want to smoke, drink, or live on an island surrounded only by people with CF then we can make those bad choices and live with the consequences. Right? I've never been told I couldn't attend an event because I have CF until last year, and then again this year (same event). My wife and I want to attend a fundraiser event, but they will not let me attend because I have CF. I'm really not sure why they feel like they are responsible for deciding the risks I'm allowed to take. I'm curious to know if others have experienced anything (good or bad) regarding this policy and what your thoughts are.
