LGBTQ History Month: The intersection of LGBTQ history and disability
Reading now: 847
ebar.comThe LGBTQ community itself has been slow to address disability as an issue, yet some of the most beloved and most commonly invoked LGBTQ historical figures also had disabilities, among them artists Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Frida Kahlo, and writers Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich.
These names are well-known, yet not for their disabilities. And there are so many other LGBTQ icons, past and present, whose disabilities are ignored or not acknowledged as critical to their identities — and to LGBTQs as a community.This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits disability-based discrimination.
