SPECIAL CHAT: Why Your Story Matters with Zoey
Discuss coming out stories and queer media representation with Zoey from I.U.Y. (I Understand You)!
I.U.Y was started by Zoey as a way for LGBTQIA+ youth to receive support for coming out from other LGBTQIA+ teens in a safe and controlled enviornment. The goal is to create a safe place to reach out about questions you may have about other LGBTQ+ teens’s coming out stories that might relate to something your going through.
FOR YOUTH OF COLOR: Queer interracial dating
This group is for anyone who identifies as a Person Of Color (POC). We welcome everyone, but if you are not a POC, please consider giving more space to the POC and respect their voices.
Not only does society have assumptions about your racial identity because of who you date, but your family might also. When societal and family traditions are broken, you may have to unlearn some unconscious bias’. But not all interracial couples go through these hardships. We’ll talk about the ups and downs of interracial dating.
FOR YOUTH OF COLOR: Media Representation of LGBTQ+ Folks
This group is for anyone who identifies as a Person Of Color (POC). We welcome everyone, but if you are not a POC, please consider giving more space to the POC and respect their voices.
LGBT people in the media are often highly misrepresented, usually categorizing all of them into just lesbian and gay identities. Then, people have created stereotypes for lesbian and gay characters. This contradicts the whole purpose of the fictional characters of LGBT people, which is to explore the wide array of identities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. So, today, we'll talk about how queer folks are represented in popular media and how we can critically think about the roles portrayed. Doing so can break the habit of believing everything we see.
FOR YOUTH OF COLOR: Trans people in sports
This group is for anyone who identifies as a Person Of Color (POC). We welcome everyone, but if you are not a POC, please consider giving more space to the POC and respect their voices.
The topic for today is Trans people in sports. In 2020, lawmakers zeroed in on sports and introduced 20 bills seeking to ban trans people from participating in athletics. These statewide efforts have been supported through a coordinated campaign led by anti-LGBTQ groups that have long worked to attack our communities. We will discuss a few myths about trans people playing against there cis gendered peers.
If there is not a group currently available and you need immediate help, please go to The Trevor Project.
