These units are but a fraction of the wealth of education available on gender and sexuality. These units provide a precursor to a lifelong commitment to learning. We hope these units spark your inspiration and help you continue your learning.
In these units, we define gender and sexual identity and why they matter, provide tips to foster an inclusive space for people of all genders and sexualities, and share insights for being a better ally to LGBTQ2+ people.
Access the learnings through the 4 individual education units outlined below. We recommend you complete the
units in the order outlined. Any feedback you provide will remain anonymous, and will be reviewed by
OK2BME and Lunaria to improve future education and partnerships. You can read more about our privacy policy
