LGBTQIA+ Competency

We used to call it the gay community. Then it was the lesbian and gay community. Now it’s the LGBTQIA+ community. But what does it all stand for and why is it so complicated? Join us for a discussion in which you will learn what to say and what not to say, but far more importantly learn what it all means and why it’s important. Learn about gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender expression, how these things interact, how they impact all of us, and how to love and support the LGBTQIA+ people in our lives. Bring your curiosity, questions, and an open mind!  Must RSVP to Jana to attend.  jwennstrom@franketobeyjones.com or 253-756-6219.
10:00 am – 12:00 pm, Bristol View 1^st Floor Bowditch Room
