Building Towards Dignity and Welcome
Our approach to education and outreach is to help people to see the person inside one another and, on that basis, to build policies, laws, and practices that dignify and welcome everyone. In particular, we seek to humanize the LGBTQ+ community by sharing our gifts and life stories.
