How to be an Effective Ally to the LGBTQ+ Community
Please join us as we take time to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and grow in our understanding of how we can all better serve our LGBTQ+ Veterans, their families, and each other.
This introductory training will focus on key concepts related to the LGBTQ+ community (continuums of identity, pronouns, intersectionality), ways to identify and challenge implicit bias, and overview effective allyship skills.
LGBTQ+ individuals experience stigma, discrimination, and disproportionate healthcare disparities. Within society, there is a lack of understanding about continuums of identity (sexual orientation, gender identity, biological sex/sex assigned at birth) and the importance of language (pronouns). While many individuals have good intentions, a lack of understanding about the LGBTQ+ community can lead to tense interactions and worse (e.g., healthcare disparities, discrimination)
