Equality MT Presents Webinar on Being a Good Ally to the LGBTQ+ Community
Many of us have been lucky enough to shelter in place in places we feel safe, but some of us have had to endure unsafe and trying environments with unsupportive families and housemates. LGBTQ+ Montanans are especially at risk for family loss, loss of healthcare access, and are at increased risk of homelessness and unemployment. With this in mind, Equality Montana recently brought a presentation to the public about the “Do’s and Don’ts of Allyship.” This presentation was geared specifically at people who wanted to learn how to be better allies to the LGBTQ+ community.
If you watch the video, you will find and learn some very helpful tips, like:
-What it means to be an ally
-How to best support people coming out, and what that means
-How to best support Trans, Non-Binary, and Two-Spirit folks
-What questions are appropriate and how to ask them
The Q&A style lecture was made and presented by the staff of Equality Montana as part of its vision to increase the reach, visibility, and impact of LGBTQ+ organizing and policy work in Montana.
