“…Historically, there are parallels as both groups were disadvantaged, and stereotyped, and suffered from post-traumatic stress as a result of the violence that faces them daily. Little is known on the intersection of disability and the NI conflict (Hill & Hansen 2011;Kerr 2013;Flaherty & Hansen 2015) and similarly, very little is known on LGBTQIA+ perspectives of the NI conflict (Curtis 2014;Hoewer 2014;Livingston 2003). Current efforts in this regard are relatively tokenistic and there is no serious consideration around centralizing disability and LGBTQIA+ issues in structural and social engagement.…”

This article explores building transnational queer and disabilities communities, disability-queer peace, and disability-queer activism in post-peace accord Northern Ireland (NI). Through in-person and virtual interviews with activists, staff, and leaders who are disabled, queer, and/or in allyship, it became clear in the data that respondents were ashamed, frustrated, and sad that ableism and queerphobia continues in NI. Attacks on disabled and LGBTQIA+ people have escalated as a result of the Brexit fallout and the COVID-19 pandemic that negatively impacted marginalized communities that are targeted by legal exclusion, discriminatory, and hateful practices as well as structural and interpersonal violence. Dialogue, diversity, and inclusive practices and policies and a political system that benefits all NI citizens are crucial to building sustainable peace in NI.
