Is there a group or platform for LGBT+? (self.Blind)
submitted by mamiice97
Hello there, I am a bisexual girl and was looking everywhere on the internet if there are groups/platforms or chats for blind/VI/disabled lesbians, bisexuals etc. I couldn't find anything though but would like to meet new people who are like me. Does anyone know about something like that? I found blind and gay on Reddit, but that only seems to be for men. Thanks in advance for your answers.

The NFB has an LGBTQ+ division that was started recently. They had a good number of folks show up to convention in July. They had organized meet ups and workshops I believe.

Edit: here’s a link to the Facebook group. 199 members and they have a conference call tomorrow for those interested in joining. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1218650141523142?group_view_referrer=profile_browser

I think there is one for people with albinism. If I find it, I’ll send you the group name. It might be on Facebook though.

I never heard of anything of the sort. Considering the numbers involved... Probably not too easy to get enough people for it to take off. Would be interested myself.

Hi I'm in Scotland and a gay man. I don't think anyone posts on gay and blind on reddit. I haven't come across anywhere on the Internet for LGBTQ and blind folk. Some of the visually impaired groups or message boards have a few LGBTQ members. It's a bit hit and miss. In the UK they tend to be in amongst the disability LGBTQ groups if anywhere. Most of the gay blind people I have met have been at fundraising events or groups meetings etc, Guide dogs Scotland and RNIB Scotland have a bunch of them over here. It will depend where you are? Not much on the Internet. Let me know if you find anything:-)
