Understanding LGBTQ+ Identities
We'll explore LGBTQ+ identities, break down key terminology, and unpack the differences between sex, gender, and sexual orientation. This is your grounding space - no shame, no judgement, just a chance to learn, unlearn, and begin using language that truly affirms others
Why LGBTQ+ Inclusion Matters in the Wedding Industry
The wedding industry has historically excluded LGBTQ+ people in both obvious and subtle ways. In this module, we’ll look at the impact of that exclusion - and how you, as a supplier, can be part of something better.
Language & Pronouns | The Foundations
Inclusive language is more than just avoiding mistakes; it’s about making your clients feel seen. In this module, we’ll cover how to ask for and use pronouns respectfully, shift your everyday language to be more inclusive
