GMSA believes that we are all sexual beings and sexuality is a positive and pleasurable part of life.

• The fundamental principles of self-advocacy that people with disabilities can have control over their own lives, make their own decisions, solve problems, and speak for themselves extend to sexuality and relationships.
• We have the right to choose our own partners – same-sex, opposite sex, differently-abled.
• Everyone has a right to the facts about health and sexuality information provided in an accessible manner.
• Relationships are learning opportunities. We move in, out, and within them in different ways.
• Treat adults as adults. Have respect for an individual’s right to make choices and mistakes.
• Accept people where they are; support people in discovering who they are. No judging – do not push your values on someone else.
