From bystander intervention and community accountability to sexual and gender identity 101 and breaking down the myths, many community organizations have begun to recognize a need for additional support in assuring the comfort and care of LGBT+ people, let’s begin exploring this together!

    • The Spectrum Center and local faith leaders have compiled a list of LGBTQ+ affirming faith spaces in the Ann Arbor area.
