Disability & Sexuality
-
have grown up with a Disability this end as well & curious of those in the community in their experiences in coming out.

There are lots of disabilities, some worse than others.
But you should never allow others to dictate your happiness and sense of self-worth. That's as bad as letting some hate monger make you feel bad. -
Same thing for elderly men who have lived in the closet all their lives. I imagine would be a little more difficult to live being disabled and gay, but would depend on the disability. I dated a guy with an amputated leg, and for the most part he could do most things okay.

Thx for the replies, wish more would respond to it.
Agreed there is more than 1 actual form of disability.
The is the Intellectual Disability that affects learning to Physical Disability which is more seen out in the open.The Intellectual one can be a little more harder to tell compared to the Physical Disability, cause they look like any other person, require a lil more attentiveness towards what they need help with.

It also depends on the level of the disability..

I'm autistic, and I feel in some ways it's kinda dismissive, and it's something
I know for other people who are gay and have a disability, it's different.
No I don't tell that many people, and I feel do not feel it's something (due to the fact I'm a high functioning autistic) I need to bring up.
Don't get me wrong, it sucks being gay and autistic, but I learn to accept it I guess.

Further options:
Tired of having to always ask for accomodation.
I have Lupus, which is rarely visible - so people ignore it.
When it becomes visible -ie I have a seizure or blister from sunlight - people freak out rather than dealing with it.
