The present qualitative and exploratory study seeks makes a contribution in the field of phenomenology to an understanding of the unique perspective of gay men with congenital and/or acquired physical and/or sensory impairments with regard to disability-related experiences, as well as their sexual orientation. Using a semi-structured interview and a detailed description of the personal experiences of two participants, the study addresses their values, beliefs, representations, attitudes, opinions, and normative references. Among others conclusions, we emphasize that, beyond the experience of double discrimination reported centrally by the participants, alternative existential meanings emerge, which allow them to meet their expectations regarding experiencing homosexuality and sexuality, free of prejudice and stigma.
