Course Overview
Most of us have heard the word “ally”, but what does it really mean? Can we self-proclaim our title as an ally, or does it need to be given to us by people in the LGBTQ+ community? If I am thinking about becoming an ally, what does that entail? This session will help answer these questions and more. Additionally, you will be provided with resources that can help you dig deeper if you wish.
