Would you date a Disabled person.

[Pyromancer]

I don't think the original poster is back yet, at least I haven't seen him around.  I have a friend who's disabled, and I know he gets frustrated trying to meet guys.  His basic advice is, stay off the dating/hookup sites where everyone is looking for perfection...he says it's too depressing and tanks his self esteem.  One thing that has worked for him, he signs up for courses in stuff that he's interested in and has done some volunteer work.  Before COVID-19, he was doing volunteer work for Joe Biden at one of his local headquarters and met a really nice guy that he's gone out with a few times.  He met another guy at a one-day course in Indian cooking at a local adult education center.

Basically, he says that concentrating on his own interests brings him into contact with guys who have the same interests.  He doesn't look for LGBT events or events for the disabled...he's open to also meeting straight guys or women who could be potential friends. (and maybe introduce him to their gay friends)  He has a lot of physical problems, but he has such a positive attitude that you tend to not think of him as disabled.  Meeting people in those situations gives them a chance to see him as a person, not just some disabled guy.
