What does They/Them mean?
Is queer an okay word to use?
And what does “the plus” mean?
Jean-Marie Navetta is the director of education and inclusion for PFLAG and she breaks down the terminology of an increasingly diverse world. We go beyond the basics and whether you are or a member of the LGBTQ+ community or are just looking to broaden your understanding -- we can get you ready for your next conversation.
