June is Pride Month! This month is set aside to bring awareness of and celebrate the experiences of people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex. Please read and watch the resources below. The discussion on June 16 at 2PM will focus on the first 3 resources.
Discussion Questions
-If comfortable sharing with the group, what is one thing you learned from these resources?
-Based on the information in the first 2 articles and the video, what are some things that AFS SNEC can do to make in-person meetings and the Chapter as a whole more of a safe and welcoming space for folks who identify as LGBTQIA+?
-Are there efforts within your workplace to make that space more safe and welcoming for folks who identify as LGBTQIA+?
