Let’s talk about LGBTQIA+ and Disabilities

Hello cozy readers, today we will be reading about a topic that is often overlooked but is an ongoing challenge for many of those who are LGTQIA+ and disabled. Many of those who fall into both categories find it difficult for both those identities to co-exist. One of the main reasons is there is the is a belief that disabilities and queerness don’t co-exist and there is little support for it. There has been great movement in bringing awareness to this subject however there is still a large issue with ableism and homophobia.
