than non-disabled LGBTQ+ people to face social injustice from poverty, through to a lack of access to quality healthcare and mental health services.
As a chronically ill queer man, I spend most of my life housebound, which limits my opportunities for forming connections.. This allowed many disabled people to experience pride for the first time.

I have to carefully consider which events seem manageable to attend.
Accessibility at pride requires organisers to make conscious decisions about inclusion to ensure we are never an afterthought. We need organisers to lead the fight for disability inclusion and to dismantle barriers society places on disabled bodies.I, and all LGBTQIA+ disabled people, deserve the freedom to celebrate our queerness without discrimination, barriers, and exclusion. We are valid, strong, and proud. We matter and we deserve to be visible at pride.
