Intersectionality: Working with Both/And/All of Me

You are invited to a LGBTQ Networking event to celebrate the fourth year anniversary of the opening of The Right Track/LGBTQ Specialty Track in Young Adult Services. Humans are rarely just one thing. We all have multiple social identities and connections to a variety of communities. When two or more of those identities are stigmatized, however, it creates a unique set of challenges. This can be especially true for LGTBQ youth and their families. This interactive conversation will; lay out the differences between vertical and horizontal identities, identify some of the challenges that youth and their families might need to negotiate, and explore ideas and strategies for supporting diverse families as their children come out.
