Stephen Thomas Smith, a gay TikTok star with cerebral palsy, has said people assume that he can’t be LGBT+ because he’s disabled.
In an interview with the
BBC, Smith explained that when he was growing up, he was seen as “the disabled kid” and “person in the wheelchair”.
While his family wasn’t surprised when he came out as gay, he said people at school didn’t see it coming.
“I don’t think people usually think, ‘Oh this disabled person is gay or straight or they want to interact or they have desires’,” he said.
