This Ability: Andrew Gurza on queer disability and sex

“We don’t talk about sexuality and disability at all in queer spaces or hetero spaces. We don’t really talk about disability at all,” says Toronto-based disability awareness consultant Andrew Gurza. “I think non-disabled people are afraid to talk about sex and disability because it might be them one day.”

In the first of a two-part series focusing on disability and LGBTQ2 communities, Gurza talks about sex, relationships and feeling and giving pleasure as a disabled person.
