ABOUT

Disabled and Queer Adult Nightlife

As disabled, chronically ill and queer people, our voices and needs often go unmet and unnoticed. Our bodyminds are often viewed as a moral and/or clinical problems to solve. These barriers often rob us of spontaneity and joy and decrease our opportunities for experiencing various types of intimacy whether platonic and/or romantic. Without more opportunities to form real life and virtual relationships, we continue to suffer from isolation and lack of touch, safe sexual experiences, and friendship. Our goal is to create accessible public spaces and “nightlife” events that inspire joy and community for/by disabled and queer adults and our allies.
