Barrett Doss Instagram – You guys! My boo @jake.borelli is here this week for a slight departure from our usual programming, but one that is no less important! We’re gonna discuss the acronym LGBTQIA+. It’s crucial to understand what these letters stand for and why it’s important to honor them. Jake and I will be going LIVE on Thursday at 5pm PST to talk more about this! Can’t wait to see him and have a chat about this topic with him and YOU! And check out his resources below!!! From Jake: A closer look at the LGBTQIA+ Community, term by term, for this weeks #19for20! 💕🌈✨ The Queer Community is made up of SO many different types of people who have so many different lived experiences. Hopefully this chat will give you a better understanding of all the wonderful and nuanced people in our lives, and give you better tools to truly listen and respect the way people define and express themselves :) LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU.
