GenderQueer Revolution is proud to
co-sponsor Cal State Long Beach's Diversity Week, 2008.
GenderQueer Revolution's Alexander Yoo will be
participating on the panel titled, LGB…T?: Employment
Legislation on Gender Identity Issues on Wednesday,
April 16, 2008 from 3:30-4:30 pm in the University Student
Union, Room 205.
The purpose of LGBT Diversity Week at CSULB is to highlight
intersections among different aspects of identity. For
students who identify as double-, triple-, or
quadruple-minorities, being LGBT is only one aspect of
their identity. The majority of students who utilize the
LGBT Resource Center also identity as ethnic minorities.
Rather than organizing programs that focus solely on sexual
orientation or gender identity, we wanted to try and look
at these same issues through lenses of race, ethnicity,
culture, and class.
3:30 - 4:30 PM
Cal State Long Beach, USU, Room 205
LGB…T?: Employment Legislation on Gender Identity Issues
Presenters: Rev. Alexander Yoo, M.A., MFTI, Diane Houston (Human Rights Campaign), and Andrew Oldershaw (Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center Young Professionals Council)
Format of Panel Discussion:
This will be a panel presentation with three speakers. Following a 5-minute introduction where the moderator explains the purpose of the panel, each speaker will have 10 minutes to give a brief presentation about their background, their interest in this topic, and their suggestions for (a) effecting advocacy on behalf of our collective LGBT communities; and (b) acknowledging rifts while exploring opportunities for continued dialogue and possible collaboration. A 10-minute question and answer period will follow, and the moderators will close with a 5 minute conclusion.
The purpose of this panel is provide a safe atmosphere in which panelists can speak openly and "agree to disagree" if necessary. Kirstyn Yuk Sim Chun, Psy.D. will personally moderate this panel, due to the sensitive subject matter. Her goal is to expose students to some of the key issues that are currently relevant in our LGBT communities and provide a forum for respectful, yet engaging, dialogue. She plans to take an objective, unbiased stance, in order to help all panelists feel safe and comfortable sharing their opinions and experiences.
