LGBTQ+ 101 & Allyship
In partnership with the Center on Halsted, SGA is excited to host this FREE virtual educational community event.
Participants will learn the foundations of LGBTQ+ terminology, the importance of pronouns, and aspects of allyship. The terminology reviewed covers gender identity, sex assigned at birth, orientation, the LGBTQIA+ acronym, and gender expression. Elements of LGBTQ+ experience, such as coming out, transition, and visibility, will also be covered. Participants will learn what pronouns are, how to ask for someone’s pronouns, and how to correct someone/themselves if they make a mistake. The allyship section covers what allyship is and actionable steps for being an effective ally at home and in the workplace.
The general public (ages 18+) are all welcome.
