Impairment and imagery are neglected within the social model approaches to disability. This is connected to a neglect of representation.

Draws parallels between disability politics and the gay pride movement in order to illustrate how different minority ethnic groups share experiences in common whilst retaining distinct qualities. Through exploring this relationship, issues such as normalisation, passing and challenging prejudice will be presented in a wider context. The social model of disability will be applied to experiences within the gay and lesbian community and the experience of dual oppressions will be addressed. The paper concludes with a focus upon the concept of the personal as political and the force of collective power.
