This course was created for those who have LGBTQ+ co-workers, clients, friends or family members, or who simply want to know more about LGBTQ+ people. Those who are not LGBTQ+, may feel unfamiliar with some of the language used, and may also have misconceptions about LGBTQ+ people. On the other hand, those who are LGBTQ+, may want to use this course as a reference in their professional lives.
The goal of this course is to give course participants a good starting place for creating more welcoming and inclusive environments for their co-workers, clients, friends, and family. While this course was specifically developed focusing on issues related to LGBTQ+, the overarching theme is that we are all different, and we have to respect each other’s differences and boundaries, in order to create a warm and welcoming space for people around us. By the end of the course, we will see one theme emerge: people come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and we have to understand how to interact with others who are different from us.
