Pride is about visibility. It is also about who gets to imagine a future with love, community, connection and belonging.
After attending a screening of A Place Where I Belong, a documentary following 2SLGBTQIA+ adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, members of our team have been reflecting on what inclusion means in the work we do.
For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are q***r or questioning, there may be fewer accessible opportunities to connect with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, fewer visible role models, and fewer spaces where identity can be explored safely.
As service providers, part of supporting full and self-directed lives is listening with curiosity. What may be seen as a behaviour may sometimes be someone expressing identity, seeking connection, or trying to communicate who they are.
This Pride Month, we honour the right to be seen, supported and included in the fullness of who we are.
