LGBT2S+ Equity Resource Guide
This is a guide compiled by us for non-LGBT2S+ people looking to begin educating themselves on LGBT2S+ issues. At The Corker Collective we aren’t the experts, but the people linked below are. This guide is not comprehensive, yet is a great place to start.
Mind - Educate yourselves.
Listen

READ
Money - DOnate here.
Body - Show up.
Research and support your local LGBT2S+-owned businesses, teachers, trainers, and entrepreneurs
Attend LGBT2S+ inclusion seminars or workshops in person
Attend a local drag performance (and tip the queens!)
Show up at an LGBT2S+ pride event, protest, or rally
Request event organizers to add more LGBT2S+ to their speaker lineup before you buy a ticket
Platform - Use your platform + voice.
Influencers to follow, learn from, and amplify:
Talk to your kids about and advocate for sex education curricula in your school systems on sexual orientations and gender identities.
Use inclusive language and support people of different identities in all your conversations, especially when you don’t think anyone from the LGBT2S+ community is present. Many may be watching your lead to determine if you create safe spaces to be themselves with you.
Amplify LGBT2S+ voices — repost businesses, events, and offerings by the LGBT2S+ community.
