Cool article that takes an insightful lens to disability and heavy metal.
The top half of the image has a black background with white text reading Disability Pride Month 2025 and a flag with parallell diagonal colourful bands crossing the centre, over a dark grey background. Below, a legend shows the meaning of each colour in the flag. Green: sensory disabilities, Blue, emotional & psychiatric disabilities, gold, neurodiversity and red, physical disabilities.
#DisabilityPrideMonth - Disabilities are part of the diversity of human experience, not a problem to be solved. Despite progress, ablest biases and barriers remain pervasive and prevent many people with disabilities from achieving their full potential. Inclusion benefits us all.
