Diversity means a lot when it touches you personally. It doesn't strictly mean that you need to be one to know one...

The plus in GBA + represents intersectionality. Why is that important? People with disabilities and LGBTQ2+ are the only equity groups that are inclusive of all equity groups. Resources are not shared equitably, and equity groups typically have less access to resources leading to higher rates of disabilities. Breaking down the barriers for these two groups also requires breaking down the barriers for all equity groups as they intersect. The path to inclusion has always been flexibility to include all who are different and this requires an intersectional lens.
