RELATED: Local resources for LGBTQ+ issues

LGBTQIA+ is the inclusive term that includes people of all genders and sexualities, such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Allies. Learn more about the terminology with this helpful guide from GLAAD here.

We are here to talk about important issues affecting our LGBTQ+ parents, children and loved ones who support these families. Joining us for this conversation are respected local leaders, activists and experts to share their insight on today's challenges, as well as opportunities and resources for our youth.
