As we cross over from June’s Pride Month into July’s Disability Pride, let’s just say it is a summer of PRIDe with us here.This week on Outlook we’re talking about the connections, the intersectionalities between those celebrating LGBTQIA2S+ and celebrating living with disability. Yes, we know that the idea of “feeling proud” of living with disability (in this society which stigmatises anything not able-bodied) sounds strange to some, but here we’re trying to destigmatize the whole thing by

We’re always working towards a more accessible world, working towards making those adjustments, bit by bit by bit.
