About this event
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Allied/Asexual community is becoming increasing important and visible in the workplace and marketplace. In fact, over 20% of adult Gen Zers (ages 18 – 26) now identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. And one way to better understand and support this community to learn about its culture and history.
In this session, LGBTQ+ diversity expert Stan C. Kimer will share:
• Basic terms and definitions within the LGBTQIA+ community
• A short history of the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement in the US
o The early front runners
o The defining moment – the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion
o More recent history
• Symbols of the LGBTQIA+ community
• LGBTQIA+ community organizations
• Other cultural items: Movies, Children’s Books, TV Shows….
• Introducing transgender and nonbinary people
• “Five things to not say to an LGBTQIA+ person”
• Invalid stereotypes of LGBTQIA+ people
• Being an ally - respectful interaction and language
Ample time for Qs and as time will be included...
