One way to be an ally to disabled queer people:

If you want to attend a pride event, ask about their accessibility plans and policies.

Ask about their covid policies. Ask if they are accessible to mobility aid users. Ask if they will have strobe lights, if there will be bathrooms, if there is water. Make the event planners consider who they may have left out, even if the person being left out isn't you. Have your friends ask as well. Help create a demand. Help get conversations started. Help people see where things could be more accessible.

Because when we, the disabled, ask these questions? We're much more likely to get ignored, and much less likely to be heard when we raise hell.

So help us raise hell when we need it. Demand to know why your local Pride event isn't requiring masks, or is charging for water, or doesn't have wheelchair ramps, or whatever other accessibility issue you catch.

Stop leaving us behind. We need your fucking help.

Why the fuck does this dmv not have chairs (i know some dmvs do but in my experience they only gave them to seniors and people with children and those with visible disabilities and I don’t bring my mobility aids cause I’m worried probably for no reason of being some kind of denied or poorly treated or something idk ). I have been standing for an hour and I am in pain but I know if I sit on the ground I probably won’t be able to get up. gahhhh. also the accessible entrance is literally so far from the main entrance like wtf. Also also it’s hot in here cause if so many goddamn people

Why are spaces that are meant to accommodate so many different types of people so damn inaccessible

We love my boyfriend for making this for me :)

DURING DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH?

THIS IS A SUPER SPREADER EVENT. THIS IS THE COVID VIRUS' WET DREAM TO BREED NEW SUPER VIRUSES.

LIKE "YOU GET A COVID STRAIN. AND YOU GET A COVID STRAIN. AND YOU'RE ALL GETTING DIFFERENT COVID STRAINS."

I love One Piece as much as anyone BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT. LUFFY WOULD NOT WANT YOU ENDANGERING DISABLED PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

If you went to this without a mask. Don't talk to me. You're not worthy of my presence.
