Love, Labels, and Learning: LGBTQ+ Basics RIT (Zoom)

This is an introduction to understanding LGBTQ+ identities, experiences, and culture. We will explore key terms such as sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation as well as common abbreviations (LGBTQIA+ etc.). We will also discuss significant events, important figures, and cultural milestones of LGBTQ+ history. This class will also discuss common misconceptions, addressing discrimination and bias as well as how to foster inclusive and supportive environments in your communities. If you’re new to these topics, this session offers a welcoming space to learn and ask questions.
