In 1977, a group of disability rights activists staged a historic sit-in to demand the enforcement of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Their efforts helped lay the foundation for future disability protections, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

As with all LGBTQ+ youth, LGBTQ+ youth with disabilities should be aware of laws and regulations that protect them from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

In honor of the anniversary of the 1977 504 Sit-In, we’d like to recount this significant moment in disability history.

Happy Pride Month! What a wonderful month to celebrate with you. Before we begin the blog, we want to name that whether you are out or not, figuring out your identity or not, we see you, we appreciate you, and care for you. Your experiences and identities are valid, and we hope to always offer you a safe space at our organization and events to be your true and authentic self.
