Levy Lecture: Understanding Sexual Identity and Gender Identity

Levy Lecture

Tuesday, September 10, 1 p.m.

Has someone close to you recently told you they identify as something you have never heard of, or asked you to change the pronouns you use for them? An increasing number of people are able to publicly identify as LGBT, transgender, gender non-conforming, or other non-normative identities. This session will introduce you to language and concepts that help you understand and support those around you. This event is sponsored by the Levy Senior Center Foundation.

Lecturer: Elisabeth "Biz" Lindsay-Ryan.
