Description: Persecuted outlawed imprisoned shunned. You might think this refers only to the Lgbtq+ community but their experience is remarkably closely aligned to the experience of the Disabled community. This book examines the histories of these two movements are they ran alongside each other often intersecting. Both the Disabled and the Lgbtq+ movements have rich and intriguing pasts that date back beyond recorded history. As Holder explores the journey of these movements the journey highlights their shared history through the stories of the people who brought both into modern consciousness. They represent vital landmarks in the little - explored intersections between the two groups past and present. Turn - of - the - century Mexican bisexual painter Frida Kahlo was Disabled by both polio and injury; Michelangelo turned his artistic talents toward homoerotic poetry to manage his arthritis. The iconic Marsha P Johnson lived with and cared for those with AI Ds and Dr Fryer the psychiatrist with depression has been credited with planting the seed that led to the removal of homosexuality from the American diagnostic manual of mental disorders. While many of these events seem small they shape our Queer and Disability cultures and shared history to show just how far we've come and how far we still have to go.
