Remember: there are no 2-SLGBTQIA+ rights without disability rights. Let's keep uplifting, supporting, and advocating for everyone in our community. (6/6)

By advocating for accessibility, equality, equity, and inclusivity, we can help break down barriers and build a word where all 2-SLGBTQIA+ individuals, regardless of ability or race, are empowered to live their lives to the fullest. (5/6)

We must be mindful of how these intersecting identities create unique experiences and advocate for solutions that consider both race and ability. Everyone deserves to love authentically and have their identity respected. (4/6)

For Black folk, Indigenous folk, and People of Color (BIPOC) within our community, these challenges are often amplified. The intersection of racial and disability identities can result in compounded discrimination, making it even harder to access resources, healthcare, and inclusive spaces. (3/6)

We believe in standing with ALL members of our community and ensuring that our advocacy is intersectional - fighting for the rights and dignity of 2-SLGBTQIA+ people with disabilities. (2/6)

At the intersection of disability and the 2-SLGBTQIA+ identities lies a unique set of challenges that many individuals face. For those navigating both worlds, it's essential that support systems are inclusive, accessible, and affirming of both their gender and ability. (THREAD - 1/?)

To the 2-SLGBTQIA+ community: As the new administration fights to erase us, we will continue standing for and standing by you. All of us at Ottawa Area Center for Pride are with you in this battle and will fight fervently to protect you. You exist. You matter. You have an entire community with you.

This election season - and the climate we currently find ourselves in - can bring up a wide range of emotions for many of us in the 2-SLGBTQIA+ community. We're offering support groups for 2-SLGBTQIA+ youth and adults, respectively, on Saturday, January 18. Sign up here: bit.ly/4fTGfUJ
