More on that later, because right now we've got a busy day ahead of us.

I met an absolutely lovely lady called Megan

Seriously, it's like dyslexia hits me with a stick every time I try and...

It's basically Megan and her lovely wife, Whitney, and together they are Wegan.

And they are a couple that I have been following since...

And I got the chance to meet her and I was so excited, and I gave her a make-over,

and you saw the results of that and it was amazing and I was so pleased.

And the video that we were gonna put out,

where I put retro vintage make-up on her and we...

talked about all different kinds of--growing up with a disability

would imply that I had somehow put it somewhere and misplaced it.

When the computer broke, and then the hard-drive broke,

Megan offered me the second part of her footage.

So that is what I am going to be showing you today.

It was about being disabled and a lesbian

and the kind of intersectionality of that

So sad that the original video has gone, because--because it was so good!

And Megan looked just absolutely beautiful.

And I don't even have the really good photos that we took

in the card, or down below, which will be in the description

and that will take you over to Megan's channel,

where you can watch that and then come back and watch this.

So, here is the second part of the conversation.

We asked questions on Twitter and said, "What would you like us to answer about being gay and disabled?"

J: And what did people say? M: Let me go find them.

M: I didn't, because I hid it, because I'm nice.

I think I thought, once I got to know the person, if I liked them, that I'd probably "warn" them before we met up

The reality was [?[ having to warn them, like--I don't want them to find out when they've met me.

So I'd wait to see if I liked them and then I'd be like, "By the way..."

And then at that point, when I told Whitney, she was like, "I realised, I already knew." I was like, "Oh."

Um, yeah... I don't think I went on a lot of dates people who I'd met in person, I guess.

Some I did, but it might have been like drunk in a night club, so then I'd worry that did they realise?

J: That they'd been so drunk, they just assumed--they thought it was more because they were drunk

before I met my first--the first person I date, before I met her and went on lots of dates,

I think I did. I did, I put it in all of my dating profiles, like

And not that many people responded to me.

and sometimes, if they did, they were weird.

J: They'd get too into it. M: Aw, no. That's strange.

J: Some people really like the idea of dating a deaf person.

J: But they were very much like--there's that infantilization, I think, of disabled people.

M: I'm learning so much. J: And then the second wave of dating,

Yeah. I think Claudia first--on our very first date,

when we first met, we very much just told each other everything about everything, ever

M: That's cool. J: and spilled our souls.

J: And got asked to leave the pub, because they were like, "We are closing, get out."

J: We've already been here for five hours. M: Aww.

J: And then we walked to my house and stood on my front step and talked for another forty-five minutes

J: Well, no, I was saying...! M: You were working up to it, or...?

M: Oh, waiting for a kiss?! Yeah. J: Kiss on the doorstep! She walked me home.

J: But it was kind of awkward, like, it's our first date

J: So, we don't wanna go... And we really like each other

so it was very much like, 'we don't wanna go too far'

J: But... M: Me and Whitney didn't--yeah, we're good.

J: You guys had known each other for quite a while  M: Yes.

J: when you actually first met. M: We had, but I didn't want to on my first date.

M: Bad. That's bad. J: But it's not a first date if you've been talking for years!

J: And then our third date, she came to pick me up from work.

And I--it was like the launch of our TV station, it was this big thing,

and I'd got really tired the night before because I'd been working really hard up to the launch,

and I fell asleep really heavily on my leg, so I didn't turn over in the night, as I should have done,
