‘Okay, I went through a course, Living Waters. Yes, to make myself straight. It obviously didn’t work. Being a lesbian and disability, it’s a double whammy because being a lesbian, people are going to see that. And also with a disability you can’t hide from your disability either. It’s okay to be both, being disabled and being gay. I want to be real with myself, my disability, my sexuality, I don’t want to be something that I’m not.’ – Meredith, 2013
“My name is Meredith. I had a large aneurysm when I was 16. In hospital I realised I was probably a lesbian. Being a lesbian and having a disability there’s a double whammy but it’s ok to be both. I want to be real with myself – with my disability and my sexuality. I don’t want to be something that I’m not.”
