LGBTQ people are in danger of victimization not only because of their race or class, but also because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This module includes information on language, terminology, and concepts commonly used in LGBTQ communities, the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation, a historical and legal perspective of LGBTQ rights and recognition, barriers LGBTQ people face when accessing services, and ways to increase your agency’s ability and capacity to effectively serve LGBTQ people.

This is a 1-hour course.
