We’re excited to host a special Pride Month Voices & Stories event next week! “Intersecting Lives and Experience of LGBTQ+ Community Members” will feature a moderated panel discussion with local LGBTQ+ individuals sharing some the unique challenges presented by the intersection of their q***r identities with other aspects of who they are. From race and ethnicity to religion and citizenship, balancing intersectionality can be challenging, but it also creates opportunities for engagement and support across multiple communities. Please join us to explore what it means to accept and understand ALL of someone, and how acceptance often begins at the intersection of who they are.

• Time: 7:30-8:30 pm
• Location: Kennard Nature Nook/Grant Park, 6588 McEwen Road, Centerville
