Proud and Free To Be Me!

In 2025, our theme for these events is Proud and Free To Be Me! Proud and Free To Be Me! is a call from LGBTQIA+ people with disability for a society, where they are ‘free to be me’ – free to be unapologetically themselves, free from discrimination, violence, and restrictions from an inaccessible society.

We will continue to fiercely fight for equal rights, and proudly celebrate the diverse shades of LGBTQIA+ people with disability to the world!
