Queer & Accessible

The Queer & Accessible (Q&A) Project ran from 2022-2025. Q&A connected LGBTIQ+ people with disability to the queer community. We did this by helping queer organisations with planning and promoting their events. And helping them with accessibility for people with disability. (We are hoping to get funding for Q&A to run again in the future.)

The Objectives

1. Share: Share the lived Experiences of LGBTIQ+ people with disability to educate the wider LGBTIQ+ community and increase visibility.
2. Build: Build the capacity of queer leaders to drive the change required to support the inclusion of people with disability.
3. Resource: Provide a range of resources and supports to queer leaders who manage events, venues and groups within their communities.
4. Promote: Promote accessible queer events to LGBTIQ+ people with disability.

Experts by Experience

The Q&A Project is led by a team of queer people with disability called the Experts by Experience (EbE) Team. The EbE Team have shaped the project from the very beginning by sharing their lived experience of accessing the queer community.
