Queer Literacy?
A Note from the CE Director, Troy Johnson, LCSW
Dear Ally,
You already know that allyship is an earned role in the LGBTQAAI+ community, and one that should be active, informed, and visible. Queer Literacy offers allies a space to ask questions, gain awareness, and identify opportunities that can elevate them from passive to activated members of the queer community.
The role of the ally is essential in breaking down remaining barriers and creating spaces that are more than safe.
And with greater visibility and equality, the LGBTQAAI+ community is facing an unprecedented backlash from conservative religious, political, and community leaders.
Social workers have always been mandated by our code of ethics to advocate and create change for those on the sidelines of power and privilege.
Don’t wait any longer. I’m eager to meet you on the frontlines.
-Troy Johnson, LCSW

Become a Better Ally
Allyship is an earned role in the LGBTQAAI+ community, and one that should be active, informed, and visible. Queer Literacy offers allies a space to ask questions, gain awareness, and identify opportunities that can elevate them from passive to activated members of the queer community.
The role of the ally is essential in breaking down remaining barriers and creating spaces that are more than safe. We all benefit when minds, hearts, and spaces are open, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of others.
