The purpose of the Cultural Conversations Friday e-mail blast is to provide various tidbits on Cultural and Linguistic Competence (CLC) activities, cultural discovery, interesting information about other cultures, how to be more culturally sensitive to others and updates on statistics and information that are relevant to the work the FAST TRAC system of care is doing with youth and families in Clermont County.

 

This Week's Cultural Conversation:

June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month

 

Gay pride or LGBT pride refers to a worldwide movement and philosophy asserting that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity. Gay pride advocates work for equal "rights and benefits" for LBGT people. The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation, that sexual diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered.
