The queer community needs to recognize this disability and work on being inclusive for its members who are disabled by scents. That includes not actively promoting perfume, cologne and other scented products through articles or ads on queer websites. That means making sure your queer events and spaces are scent-free.

We should be able to access public spaces without harm to our health. When someone wears perfume or scented products in public, you take away my ability to access those spaces safely. It’s similar to how a person using a wheelchair can’t enter a space because there is a step at the entrance. It involves a community effort and cooperation to make a space scent-free.

If you have other questions, please ask :)
