Disability and LGBT identity both can play significant roles in the life of an individual. Disability and sexuality can intersect in compounding ways, and, for many people, being both disabled and LGBT can result in double marginizalization.[1][2] The two identities, either by themselves or in tandem, can complicate questions of discrimination (in the workplaces, schools, or otherwise) and access to resources like accommodations, support groups, and elder care.
LGBT identity and its relationship to disability has also been analyzed by academics. LGBT identities have been pathologized as mental disorders by some groups, both historically and in the present.[3][4][5] Alternatively, some activists, scholars, and researchers have suggested that under the social model of disability, society's failures to accommodate and include LGBT people makes such an identity function as a disability.[6]
