Alias Detective 1,408 Posted Wednesday at 02:29 PM Disability Pride Month July is Disability Pride Month. Some disabilities are obvious, many are not. Hidden impairments affect more colleagues and friends than you may realize. During the month of July we recognize all human differences and the need for health equity and psychological safety in the workforce. Why is Disability Pride Month Celebrated in July? We celebrate Disability Pride Month in July since it commemorates the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On July 26, 1990 the ADA was passed and signed into law. This legislation provides civil rights protections and “prohibits discrimination against people in several areas, including employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications and access to state and local government programs and services.” (U.S. Department of Labor). 5 Types of Disabilities Hidden impairments affect more colleagues and friends than you may realize. Including: Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities such as ADHD or dyslexia. Sensory Disabilities such as hearing loss, vision impairment, or Autism. Mental Illness Disabilities such as depression, eating disorders, PTSD, or anxiety. Physical Disabilities such as epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, deafness, blindness, or fibromyalgia. Invisible Disabilities such as Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease, and diabetes. Bwahahahahahahahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,507 Posted yesterday at 12:15 AM You can walk into any bar during the daytime and most of the losers drinking there are on “disability”. Shameful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but you have expressed thinly veiled contempt for LGBTQ Pride Month calling it "alphabet soup pride month" and not as crucial as Disability Pride Month, perhaps suggesting you think it shouldn't be celebrated at all.

Maybe you should not walk into a bar during the day and drink with disabled losers. There are better ways to spend retirement, like brag all day about how rich you are. Not THAT'S a kick-ass retirement! Weeeeee!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically I don’t think it needs to be celebrated. At the same time, it doesn’t bother me that it is. But yes, I absolutely think disabilities of all sorts is way more important to celebrate and raise awareness for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
