Research consistently shows that while most people identify as allies to the LGBTQ+ community, many have never taken action to demonstrate their support for their colleagues or friends. Leveraging PFLAG’s 50 years of experience as the nation’s original ally organization, this session will:

  • Clarify the ways in which the advanced allies’ journey looks different than new and potential allies who are just getting started
  • Discuss skills and resources that advanced allies need to establish themselves as advocates, learn more, educate others, and create conversations about LGBTQ+ equality
  • Develop strategies for avoiding conflict and moving away from those dreaded dead-end debates
  • Work out, through a group discussion, how you’d navigate some common (but tough) scenarios that allies often face in the workplace – and learn how others do it, too.

For in-person and hybrid sessions, this workshop is only available in a 90-minute format.

Scenarios considered during this learning session will be developed, customized, and selected in consultation with event planners.
