10 Easy Ways to Be More LGBTQ Friendly

        Rina did a really great wrapup of this session, so I will just add on a few extra things that I wanted to share. 

           One of the main things that really resonated with me that Theresa shared is that some people or orgs tend to shy away from talking about LGBTQ issues because it is "too much of a politicized" topic, but at the core, it really isn't. It really is just about supporting families in our community, giving them a voice, and allowing their experiences to be shared and validated. 

          Another thing that Theresa shared was that her children look for the rainbow flag at places they frequent, and they get very excited when they see it. They yell "Look Mama! This place is for us!" And I definitely want every child to be able to walk into our building and immediately feel that sense of belonging.
