This event is designed to bring people together, encourage discussion, create safe space for continued conversation around LGBTQI+ persons and their families, and to provide resources useful to the LGBTQI+ community and the people who love them.

During the event you will have the opportunity to interact with other LGBTQI+ people and their allies navigating different stages of coming out, and understanding ones self in discussion groups. You will meet people interested in helping you on your journey to honest, open, celebrated living. If you are an ally, this event will help you to reach greater understanding on how to love and support LGBTQI+ persons.
