Many of us know someone (or are ourselves) within the LBGTQ community. Things have been difficult for LBGTQ folks historically, but recently, they have faced an increase of legislation and other attacks targeting their basic human rights.
That’s why we’ve decided to pair with One Iowa to bring you their LGBTQ 101 training.
CCI Action staff have taken this training before and it is a great introduction to various LGBTQ topics. One Iowa provides a safe space to learn and ask questions, which will help you better support your LGBTQ coworkers, friends, and loved ones and prepare you for conversations around these topics.
Join us June 8, 2023 at 6:00 PM on Zoom for this fun and informative training led by Max Mowitz of One Iowa.
From the One Iowa website:
Our LGBTQ 101 is all about laying the foundations of understanding our community. With a definition of terms, an explanation of gender & sex, an understanding of the disparities faced by the LGBTQ community, and a brief session on using pronouns, our LGBTQ 101 is always the safest place to start understanding the community and becoming an educated ally.
Training outcomes:
- Explain the meaning of the term LGBTQ+ and its associated identities.
- Describe different LGBTQ terms, including sexual orientation, etc.
- Inform individuals about the implications of the gender binary within our society
- Question the notion that … sex is simply “male & female.”
- Recommend best practices for working with LGBTQ people including pronouns, gender-neutral language, and the art of the apology.
