This image shows a Kay with her hand over her face. This is suposed to show that despite you not 'seeing' her disability, she is still disabled. Invisabled disabilitys are often chronic and very dibilitating conditions and should be recognised the same as any other disbilitys.

Heven forbid a disabled person swearing!!!!

We took lots of photos with a digital camra of members of the disabled lesbians group. We tryed to take pictures of the most 'visable' disabilitys so it would be clear what we were getting accross.
The idea behind taking the photos was to then add written clips underneth them with comments such as 'I have a mastars degree in math & science' or 'dont assume im straight'. We though comments like that might open peopls eyes to the fact that disabled people live the same lives as every one else. Just as boring and dull at times too!!

EVERYONE!!
