Workshop: Including LGBTQIA+ in communities

17% of collage students identified themselves as LGBTQIA+

1.7% as transgender or questioning.

Whether LGBTQIA+ are accepted by the public varies greatly between countries. 20% in Indonesia, Ukraine, Russia, Nigeria, all the way to >80% in Canada, US, Australia, and EU countries.

But 20% in the US says no to 'same sex relationships should be accepted by society'

69 countries criminalize same sex relationships.

Sex - Biological sex, physiological attributes, governed by genetics
Sexual orientation - how a person is attracted to another person (or the lack thereof)
Gender expression - how a person presents themselves in terms of how they dress, style their hair, how they speak, etc.
Gender identity - a person's internal sense of their own gender.  Everyone has a gender identity.
