OUR PROGRAM:
Faces Before Stereotypes:
Choosing Relationships That Build Over Barriers that Divide
Listening to voices from the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and Transgender Community is not only just and relevant - it is essential. James Robinson, the founder and executive director of GLBT Advocacy & Youth Services, will demonstrate this and share with us the scope and nature of the vital programs and services this agency provides to our community.
He will share what is at the heart of their quest: to challenge the stereotypes they encounter. Furthermore, they will express how the ways to meet the challenges are essentially common to all of us who seek to be heard, understood, and treated with dignity. Through doing this, all of us can build a better community through developing relationships over time. The evening will conclude by discussing plans for a major community panel designed for candid, robust, and civil dialogue as we overcome our community stereotypes by building trusting relationships.
5:00 – 5:45 p.m. Dinner ($8.00 with handouts) and informal table discussion
5:45 p.m. Sharing community news
6:00 – 7:00 p.m. Program with dialogue
