LGBT Workshop
I am Gay, Now Deal with It!!
Exploring our lives in the relationship of family.
Richmond Hill Public Library
Monday, June 8th, 6.30pm.
The first in a series of six LGBT workshops scheduled for 2009.
For The Bible Tells Me So This workshop will explore different ways that individuals and families create their future and will comprise the screening of the movie "For the Bible Tells Me So" followed by an opportunity for discussion.
This workshop is more than a "coming out" session. It will create the context for LGBT individuals, their families and friends to have meaningful conversations around the topic of sexuality and will explore how different families move along the continuum of acceptance.
The workshop is designed to be inclusive of everyone who is interested in exploring the issues that surface when a member of our family comes out.
Details of all six workshops in this series, can be found in the event calendar on www.gayyorkregion.com. The topics covered by the other five workshops include:
  • Exploring our sexuality in the context of our religious and spiritual values. (June 22nd, Aurora)
  • Unpacking the issues that affect the LGBT community. (September 14th, Newmarket)
  • Playing Safe! (September 28th, Unionville)
  • Gay Relationships. (October 5th, Unionville)
  • Creating the life you desire. (October 19th, Richmond Hill)
All workshops is this series are free of charge and will be managed by a professional facilitator. For more information, please call 905-895-9775 extn 261
