The A in LGBTQIA+

This event was cancelled due to presenter travel problems. We are hoping to be able to reschedule.

In this talk with  Cody Daigle-Orians (they/them) of Ace Dad Talks, we'll learn the basics of asexuality: how it works, who's in the community, and what we can learn from the asexual community. We'll also talk about ways we can create more affirming and inclusive space for the asexual folks in our schools, in our workplaces, and in our lives, with a special focus on how to support asexual youth.

This event is open to Grades 6-12 and adults. Registration is requested.
