Gender and Sexual Orientation spectrum with figures and symbols

The conversation around sexual orientation and gender identity has evolved and become much richer than at any point in our society’s history.  

Sexual orientation and gender identity will be discussed in all of it’s richness so that you leave with a solid knowledge and understanding of both and the differences between them.  

The history of U.S. treatment of those in the minority sexual orientation and gender identity communities (LGBTQIA) will be used as a basis for understanding.

  • Free event for adults ages 50 and above.
