Brian, Amyn, Alison, Lyle, Noah, and Peter, are each on unique journeys of love, acceptance, and self-empowerment, but share a common experience as LGBTQ+ individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. They are also all a part of Connecting Queer Communities (CQC), a social group for LGBTQ+ people with IDD to connect with each other and the broader queer community. As each person finds safety and solidarity within CQC, they navigate a range of experiences from the joys of coming out to dealing with a lack of freedom. With CQC’s future in peril due to funding challenges, "A Place Where I Belong" shines an urgent light on the unique challenges at the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+ justice and serves as a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to find a place where they belong.
