Welcome to the final episode of this first series.  Yes that's right the sad news is that this is the last episode in the current series...the great news is that I have a fantastic guest to finish the series with!!

Join me as I speak to Daniel Lol, , one of the founding members of ParaPride, an organisation that very much embodies what this podcast is about, exploring the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+ issues.  I met Daniel a few months ago when we worked on a couple of projects together and I've been keen to get him onto the podcast since!!

Daniel is a double-leg amputee and a gay man and he shares openly some of the challenges he's had to face adjusting to being a disabled person and re-entering the LGBTQ+ community.  he explains how these experiences led him to form ParPride and we also discuss issues around self-care and both physical and cultural disablism within the LGBTQ+ community and society more generally.

You can find out more about the work of ParaPride via their website www.parapride.org and I'd really encourage you to check out the work they do and support them if you can.

As ever thanks to you all for listening and for your fantastic feedback on the episodes thus far.  This may be the last episode for a while but don't worry I'll be back soon enough with some more great guests sharing their lived experiences of being both disabled and LGBTQ+.
