It’s great to identify with a common cause; it’s even better to make sure that all who identify can equally participate. In this talk, Shona Louise, LGBTQ+ Disabled Writer, Photographer, Accessibility Consultant and Activist, describes life at the intersection of LGTBQ+ and disability, and how LGBTQ+ spaces can be more accessible to their disabled members, inside and outside the office.
