Disability Pride Month

[Alias Detective 1,408]

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

To be clear.  Anyone feeling the need to be celebrated for having Chrone's disease or ADHD or diabetes are puzzies.  Or hearing loss!  WTF!!!

The OP made a thread to celebrate himself.  Shame.

Glad to know that we found out today that July is Disability Pride month, because that leaves Peefoam only two days to officially celebrate his mental-disability pride.

Both my wife and best buddy have Crohn’s and I doubt either feel they need to be celebrated for it.

I don’t know what MLB calls it these days, but I will continue to say disabled list until the end of time.

You can walk into any bar during the daytime and most of the losers drinking there are on “disability”. Shameful.

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!!!!!

I know you're poor as dirt, hence your retirement plan restricted to posting here because it's affordable.

That was a knock on Horsey.

Not really. There is a lot of old and new money here, and I do my best to make money off of them.

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
