Stories of Love and Allyship

Come and share or listen to stories of love for LGBTQ+ folx.

Sharing stories of love and allyship can help break down barriers and strengthen understanding and acceptance across generations. Let's share stories with the hope of creating a positive ripple effect. All ages are welcome.

Ruth Alexander from Boomer-Ally will facilitate this conversation. Boomer-Ally is a Skokie-based nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing stories of love and allyship between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ folks. Whether published on their website, or told on their podcast, stories of allyship serve as a reminder that we have far more in common than that which divides us, and regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, everyone is inherently equally worthy of love.

AGE GROUP: | Teens | Adults |

EVENT TYPE: | Discussion |
