Gender and sexuality show up in our lives hundreds of times a day. Despite being core aspects of who we are, conversations about these concepts are often hushed or dismissed. When we do hear about them — whether it’s in the media, or in our schools, workplaces, and communities — we are often misinformed, or painted an unhealthy, stigmatizing picture.

Now take all that and multiply it by 100 when we’re talking about LGBTQ+ genders and sexualities.

This self-guided Safe Zone training will give you an opportunity to explore lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other marginalized genders and sexualities (LGBTQ+).

Upon enrollment, you’ll create a username and password to access the course. You’ll use this to take the course, and will be able to log back in to revisit lessons and access materials whenever you want.

Learn about your first impressions of LGBTQ+ people, core vocabulary, gender & sexuality theory, privilege & coming out, and get your questions answered.

Howdy! I'm one of the co-creators of the Safe Zone Project. I'm a gender & sexuality educator, the author of A Guide to Gender and co-author of Unlocking the Magic of Facilitation, and the person behind the online resource and social justice comedy show It's Pronounced Metrosexual. You may have seen this toilet or this cookie I doodled. I also rhymed this TEDxTalk. I live in Austin, TX, where I love riding my bicycle and walking my wookie.

Hey there! I’m one of the co-creators of The Safe Zone Project. I’m a social justice facilitator and co-author of Unlocking the Magic of Facilitation. In addition to SZP I’ve had a hand in creating other free online resources, one focusing on facilitation and other on social justice education. I live in Seattle, WA where I admire mountains and constantly hunt for a good cup of tea.
