London’s first ParaPride calls on LGBTQ+ community to support disabled members
Hosted at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London – listed as a historic building in 2015 because of its significance to the LGBTQ+ community – the event drew several hundred people to an afternoon of panel discussions and stage acts.
LGBTQ+ venues need to be more accessible and the gay, bisexual and transgender community needs to address how it views disabled people, said former teacher Domenico Pasquariello.
«We want people to know that there are people within the LGBTQ community who are disabled and we don’t want people to discriminate (against) disability within the community», Pasquariello, 49, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
