Andrew Gurza is back and it’s his birthday (happy birthday, Andrew!). He talks with us about his viral hashtag, #DiabledPeopleAreHot, and how it became a worldwide movement. Andrew also tells us how his relationship with his mother changed when he told her that he hires sex workers regularly. We discuss why the concept of enthusiastic consent is ableist, how we can all better combat our personal “isms” and learn to be better allies, plus the harsh realities of dating when you’re disabled.
