After the panel discussion or talk, there's time for audience Q&A.This very special Pride Speaks event will be in-person, at the infamous Pike Place Market Theater.

GLSEN reports that while each unique subset within the LGBTQIA+ community has different experiences, 86% of LGBTQIA+ students were harassed or assaulted at school. 84% of trans students felt unsafe at school because of their gender. Two (2) in five (5) LGBTQIA+ students of color experience BOTH anti-LGBTQIA+ and racist harassment at school. These experiences lead to more missed school, lower GPAs, and lower self-esteem (to read more click here).
Our host Lisa Love, from Seattle Public Schools, will guide our panelists through an in-depth conversation around the current landscape queer youth are facing in our educational system - and the world. They will discuss how to create environments, specifically in educational environments, where LGBTQIA+ students feel safe and supported.
