This talk explores the nuances of discrimination and bias within and against the queer community. We’ll discuss how systemic oppression, internalized bias, and intersectionality impact LGBTQ+ individuals, even within queer spaces. Through real-world examples and research, we’ll examine the consequences of exclusion and the importance of allyship, advocacy, and inclusive policies in fostering true equity.
