Society has a weird way of treating certain people as if they're invisible and disabled people are very much included in that. And it doesn't help that a lot of buildings and cities are not as accessible as they should be. Where is the equality for disabled people?
Which is why Disability Pride Month was created, it's a way to promote visibility, honor the diversity within disability and celebrate the uniqueness and the positivity within disability. I really love that more disabled characters are being shown in various media because being disabled is normal. And some writers are doing a good job of showing the joy and happiness in their lives and not just the everyday struggles and hardship. Because you know what, everyone in the world goes through all of that, whether abled or disabled.
Which is why I want to wish everyone especially my disabled readers a very Happy Disability Pride Month!
