“1 in 5 LGBTQ workers have been told by coworkers that they should dress more feminine or masculine” (HRC Foundation 2018). A snide comment here or an off-putting look there just one time can be ignored, but when LGBTQ+ people are subjected to small, subtle jabs, known as microaggressions, over and over it has drastic impacts. In this interactive session, you will learn about the different types of microaggressions, the role implicit bias plays in these kinds of interactions and strategies to interrupt it.
