Next Episode: 77 - Dating Disabled Through a Disability Justice and LGBTQ+ Perspective

Marco, 36, loves everything to do with cars and working out. His relationship with Dana is my second serious relationship ever.

Dana, 44, has three children, and has a property manager for ten years. She now works for the New York state housing authority. She never dated someone with a disability before meeting Marco.

They chat with me about meeting on a dating app, Dana getting to know how to support Marco, deciding to live together because they were long distanced, and the unfortunate resistance they have faced from Marco's family.

They also share some sage advice about getting out there, taking a risk, and possibly falling in love.
