  4. Sexuality—and LGBTQQIA Terms Goals for today: • Education on the proper use of these sexual orientation, gender identity and expression-related terms • Gain sensitivity in how these terms can be used to inflict distress or empower • Invite you to learn more and come to a Safe Zone Ally or Trainer Training Session

  5. LGBTQQIA—XYZ… What??? • Lesbian • Gay • Bisexual • Trans (Transgender, Genderqueer…) • Queer • Questioning • Intersex • Ally

  6. Terminology Activity • You will each be given words and/or definitions. Work together to find their match. • Discuss these terms as a group. • Ask questions.

  7. Debrief Activity • Any new terms that surprised you? • What terms are you still fuzzy about? • Any other general LGBT-related questions I can answer?

  8. Where you can go from here… • Sign up to attend a 2-hour Ally Training. • Sign up to attend an 8-hour Train the Trainer Session and become a trainer. • Come to a Safe Zone meeting. • Stop by a Triangle Alliance meeting. • Ask questions. Seek out info from folks who display the WOU Safe Zone logo. • Come out as an ally. Display the SZ logo.

  9. WOU Safe Zone Mission The Western Oregon University Safe Zone program seeks to form a network of students, faculty and staff committed and trained to provide safe, non-judgmental and supportive contacts for all WOU community members regarding gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer (GLBTQ) issues. It is symbolic of a willingness and a commitment to provide an atmosphere of unqualified acceptance and assistance. What about this mission can you incorporate at MHCC?
