'It's harder to feel Pride as a disabled queer woman'

We’re coming to the end of another Pride month and once again while it’s been a vital and wonderful month, as a disabled person there are a lot of reasons I struggle with it.

Firstly, where are the disabled people at Pride? The answer is not there cos it’s usually not accessible.

The obvious inaccessibility issues that occur with most events that are primarily held in parks and clubs, disabled people can’t get around them cos of mobility issues. But there’s also the fact that Pride events are usually very loud and overstimulating, without many quiet or covered areas.
