Dear friends, Please join us on Thursday, July 1 to reflect on the meaning of "coming out" at Community Conversations: Coming Out - Who is it for? We will discuss questions like: who are coming out stories for? Can someone be out without coming out? Why do we (or not) have coming out stories? This facilitated dialogue is open to everyone, all genders and sexual orientations. It is an opportunity to reflect on how we express ourselves to each other and the world. If you have n...ot yet attended one of the Mediation Center's Community Conversations, please feel free to visit the website to learn more about our approach and method for holding space for listening and sharing. The conversation will be held on Thursday, July 1 from 5-6:30 p.m. (ET) via Zoom. Register on the website and please share this with anyone in your network who may be interested in joining us. #lgbtqia #Pride #firstcitypridecenter #comingout
