There is no law or policy prohibiting making people uncomfortable.   
We don't need to get RMH to agree that breastfeeding is great; we  
just need them to follow the law and not discriminate.  Telling a  
mother not to breastfeed is not following the law, and it is  
discrimination, unless they have a policy prohibiting all eating,  
drinking, pacifier using, presence of babies, etc.  Our side needs to  
stay calm and gently but firmly remind them of the law.  Let THEM get  
all in a tizzy about the presence of lactating breasts -- that will  
just make them look silly.  The rest of us normal people understand  
that breastfeeding happens, and it is ok.  Whatever their policy is  
for eating, drinking, or pacifiers, that *is* a breastfeeding policy,  
because breastfeeding is how babies eat.  (But bottles are fine too,  
should a mother need to use one.)
