We're continuing our Learning About Our Neighbors series 💛

In Part 1, we broke down some foundational terms—s*x assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, and s*xual orientation—because understanding the basics helps us talk about everyone more accurately and respectfully.

For Part 2, we're building on that by looking at some of the myths and misconceptions that often come up once those terms enter the chat. Many of these misunderstandings don’t come from bad intentions—they come from incomplete information, outdated ideas, or not having had the chance to hear directly from LGBTQIA+ people. This takes a closer look at a few of those common assumptions and what we know from history, lived experiences, and research.

If Part 1 was about learning the language, Part 2 is about challenging the narratives that language is often used within.

Take a moment to swipe through and continue learning with us. Further learning at the end.

We're continuing our series Learning About Our Neighbors 💛

This week we're exploring four concepts that are often discussed together but mean different things: s*x assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, and s*xual orientation.

These words help describe different aspects of a person's identity, yet they're often misunderstood or used interchangeably. Taking time to understand the differences can help us communicate with greater respect, clarity, and understanding.

In this first post, we're breaking down what each term means, how they relate to one another, and why those distinctions matter. Understanding these concepts is about more than language. Research shows that LGBTQIA+ people—especially youth—experience better mental health outcomes when they feel respected, affirmed, and supported by the people around them. Take a moment to swipe through 💛

This is Part 1 of a 2-part series. Tonight at 9 PM, we'll continue the conversation by exploring common misconceptions about gender and s*xuality.

Sources are included throughout the carousel and on the final slide.

History reminds us that communities are shaped by the people who show up for one another, speak up, and continue pushing forward especially during difficult times.

This week's book is Love Makes a Family — a joyful celebration of the many ways families can look and the love that brings them together.

Through bright illustrations and simple, everyday moments, readers see families baking cakes, reading stories, lending helping hands, playing together, and sharing goodnight kisses. Some families have two moms, some have two dads, some have one parent, and some have grandparents or extended family helping raise children.

What connects them all isn't what they look like—it's the love they share.

This sweet board book is a wonderful reminder that families come in many forms, and every child deserves to see their family reflected in the stories they read.

💬 What is your favorite family tradition or activity to do together?

💛 Thank you, Low Daily.

As we wrap up another incredible Burlington Juneteenth Celebration, we want to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank the team at Low Daily for welcoming us into their space once again.

To everyone who joined us today: thank you for celebrating with us. 💛
