Why it's neccesary to act as an ally
Problem: Bullying Against the LGBT Community (particularly school age)
Bullying against the school- age LGBTQ community is still an unfortunate occurrence. In order to combat homophobia in the classroom, our group will present an informational presentation to student teachers at NIU that covers LGBT terminology and how to become an LGBT ally.
Our presentation will include these key terms (see glossary for definitions):
Gender, or Gender Identity Transgender
Bisexual Queer Transsexual Transvestite
Sex, or Sexual Identity Lesbian
...... and more
Another key presence in the discussion will be intersectionality. This includes: race, gender, socio-economic status, age and more.
