Beyond the Binary: A Pride Month Community Chat

Beyond the Binary

About the Event

Thursday, June 16
6-7:15 PM ET

online |open to the public

When we think of Pride Month, rainbows, parades, and progress may be what first comes to mind. As we celebrate the histories, contributions, and stories of LGBTQIA+ artists, activists, and communities, it is key that we also honor the legacy of Pride and its origin as a riot. We must also acknowledge that there’s still plenty to protest-–in 2022 alone there have been over 300 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills introduced across the country.

Hosted by the LGBTQIA+ Subcommittee of the Diversity Committee, this community chat will offer attendees an opportunity to reflect on the significance of Pride, review key terminology related to LGBTQIA+ populations, and discuss ways we can be advocates, allies, and accomplices for our LGBTQIA+ community members.
