"LGBTQ+ WAE brings together a group of people who share similar life experiences. Its goal to lessen the isolation and reduce stereotypes and misperceptions of people with IDD and/or ASD who identify as LGBTQ+. It is truly a place where inclusion, equality, and community intersect," says Marin. He has been involved with the LGBTQ+ rights movement since the mid-1980s and helped to develop the LGBTQ+ WAE program in 2018.
