If you haven't lived under a stone in the past decades, you've probably heard some of the following teams before: LGBT, LGBT+, LGBTQ, LGBTQIA+, LGBTQQIAAP2S.... Why are there so many letters, and what do they even mean?

Diversity and inclusion, and specifically to this course, LGBT+ inclusion has become more and more of a prominent topic today. However, many people do not yet feel confident enough with all the different terms and concepts that belong to the topic of LGBT+ to have a good, respectful conversation about it with someone that identifies as LGBT+, or in any other setting, for example at work, school or with family or friends.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to learn about this from the safety of your own home, from someone that actually is a part of that LGBT+ community?

My name is Lara Louise, and I am an avid advocate of Diversity and Inclusion. As a Lesbian myself, my 'specialty' is LGBT+ inclusion. Over the past years I have taught many people about the topic of LGBT+, and now I can share my knowledge and experience with you through this online course.

In this course, I will teach you all about that full LGBT+ alphabet soup. After this, you'll know exactly why there are so many letters, and what they all mean. You'll also know when to use which words, and, not unimportantly, which words NOT to use.

Next to learning about which letters the alphabet soup consist of and what they mean, we will also talk about the differences between concepts such as Gender Expression and Gender Identity, so you know when you can use these in a conversation or recognize them when others do. Although it might seem complicated at first, I'll share some easy tricks that'll help you remember the meanings of these terms and when to use them.

There could be many reasons for you personally to participate in this course.

It could be that you have a friend, a family member or a colleague that has come out to you as being LGBT+ and you want to make sure that you know enough about the topic to support them properly;

Maybe for you, it's not about knowing anyone personally, but you want to educate yourself so that you can better participate in discussions around the topic at school, at work or in any other settings.

Or maybe you identify as LGBT+ yourself and you are curious to learn a little more about the people that identify with the 'other' members of the alphabet soup.

Whatever your reason, I am very happy that you are here, and I'm confident that I'm able to make sure you get what you're looking for.
