No, you can’t. We spoke with a filmmaker who said that when he heard that Crip Camp was nominated, he said, that it was incredibly important to him, because previously, he saw the LGBT Mickey Mouse face love is love shirt and by the same token and stage as a sign of exclusion. Maybe it is allowed to happen because only 1% of the characters on TV shows or in films have a disability, and of those characters, very few of them are played by people with disabilities. Even when they are—being very conscious of the privileges that you and I hold—they are often physically and visibly Disabled characters, and they are white. We need to be intersectional in our focus and in our approach as we push forward in these projects, because it has never been more important to be as reflective of the diversity that exists within our community, across identities than in this moment.
