How Sex and Disability Really Feels: My Journey with Queerness, Disability and Sexuality.

September 21, 2021 at 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

If we talk about sex and disability at all, we only ever consider “how do you have sex?” or “can you have sex?”

This keynote presentation, hosted by Andrew Gurza, will explore sex and disability, as well as consent, sexuality, ableism, disability in porn, sex work and disability and so much more.

Andrew will help participants to understand and deconstruct their own ableism around sex and disability using anecdotes, honesty and a little bit of humor, while simultaneously reminding us that disabled people are hot.
