“Wait, what do you mean LGBTQIA+? Isn’t it supposed to be just LGBT? Why does the acronym seem to get longer every year? And what’s with the he/she/they things in people’s bios? Why is someone a she when she looks like a he – is that what transgender is or was that the thing for drag queens? And what the heck are these neopronouns I read about?? Who is non-binary and who is demisexual??? How am I supposed to know how to be polite anymore when all these terms sound so confusing to me!”

Does this sound like your inner monologue when faced with an LGBTQIA+ topic? Then this is the course for you! During this 4 part course I will help you make clear of all the most relevant terminologies with all their nuances, teach you how to use politically correct language and introduce you to the relevant historical and cultural impact of the queer community.
