Join us for an enlightening evening as we delve into the vast, diverse community of LGBTQIA+ people and the different experiences with "coming out." Whether you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or as an ally, this workshop welcomes all who seek to broaden their perspectives and deepen their empathy.
