LGBTQIA and Everything In-between: An Introduction to the Language of Queer Identities– |
Let’s face it, the acronym LGBTQIA can sometimes look like alphabet soup—and why are labels so significant? We’re all humans after all, right? Through identifying and partnering yourself with other members of LGBTQIA community you can ensure that you are living your most intersectional life and not stepping on toes of others in your work. In this presentation each letter of our alphabet soup will be combed over, and light will be shed on identities that are even left out of the pot!
