“Being both queer and disabled reveals the peculiarity of society.”

“I went to Fairday last year because…I discovered there were going to be a lot accessibility accommodations. I was quite happy to go knowing that if I needed something, or I needed help with accessibility then I was able to access that.”

“LGBTIQA+ people with disability experience marginalisation and exclusion within both queer and disability communities and report experiencing lower social support from, and connection with both communities.”
