Featuring fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and comics by 48 writers from around the world, QDA: A Queer Disability Anthology proves that intersectionality isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a penetrating and unforgettable look into the hearts and souls of those defiant enough to explore their own vulnerabilities and demonstrate their own strengths.
“Queer sexuality and disability places me so far outside the realms of the everyday that it renders people silent.”
— Jax Jacki Brown
Here is a gathering of people with the transformative—and political—power of love that transcends gender and ability. Ignorance is the biggest barrier.
“I feel exhilarated that you might actually accept me as a sexual being; that you might see the deliciousness that is my disability.”
