October Reflection Idea - GLBT history month.
October is GLBT history month as the video above explains. For this month's reflection idea we want you to think about the contributions GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) people have made to the community work you have done. Are GLBT issues discussed at your community organization? Is harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression challenged? If you are working with young people, is GLBT history discussed? If so, how are GLBT people portrayed? If not, what can be done to incorporate and make visible the contributions of GLBT people?
For more information, visit the GLBT History Month website for more videos and biographies on GLBT historical icons.
If you would like to turn in a reflection on this topic, you can submit it via email to cesp (at) umn.edu or drop it off in our 345 Fraser office.
