Navigating the Challenges of Marriage for Disabled Couples
Film Screening: Patrice

Patrice and Garry, a disabled couple in their 50s, face a difficult dilemma: their desire to marry is complicated by the potential loss of essential benefits. In the face of this challenging decision, they opt for a commitment ceremony to celebrate their love while navigating the risks involved. This discussion will explore the intersection of love, disability, and financial stability, examining the societal and systemic barriers that disabled couples face when it comes to marriage. How do policies around benefits impact the personal lives and rights of disabled individuals? What changes need to be made to support the choices of disabled couples who wish to marry without the fear of losing necessary support?

Co – Presenter: The Kennedy Center
