Do you want to learn more about how to celebrate them and show that you love them for who they are? You’d do anything for these kids to make their path in life smoother. But the issues they’re grappling with, the words and terms they’re using, and the times they’re living in, are new to so many of us. Join us for a fun and informative 'LGBTQ+ 101'session that’s geared towards you, and led by a facilitator from Keshet.
