F*ck Yeah to Queer Sexuality & Disability with Andrew Gurza

Andrew Gurza, host of Disability After Dark, joins the pod and shares about their experience navigating these times as a severely disabled, queer person. We talk about the power of sex work, Andrew’s coming out journey, the unique challenges of accessing queer spaces as a disabled person and the double edged sword of anti-queer sentiment in disabled spaces. Andrew's approach of giving grace and educating with humor and radical transparency, while actively challenging ableist beliefs and institutionalized erasure of the experience of disabled people is powerful and palpable in everything they do. Our conversation with Andrew is all the things... enlightening, heartening, funny, and queer AF.Andrew Gurza (they/he) is an award winning Disability Awareness Consultant and the Chief Disability Officer and Co-founder of Bump’n, a sex toy company for and by disabled people.
