Stonewall Columbus and Equitas Health are proud to present an insightful virtual panel exploring the unique experiences of asexual and aromantic individuals in navigating healthcare systems. Panelists will share their personal stories and challenges, discuss the impact of medical professionals' understanding—or lack thereof—on their health journeys, and offer recommendations for more inclusive and sensitive care practices. This event aims to foster greater awareness and drive improvements in healthcare accessibility and responsiveness for these communities.

We are thrilled to offer Free Safe Space Training to our community! This training is designed to help individuals, organizations, and businesses create inclusive and supportive environments for LGBTQ+ individuals. This incredible opportunity has been made possible by a generous grant from United Way of Lake County. Together, we are working towards a more inclusive and supportive community. Let's make Lake County a place where everyone feels safe and valued.

🎉 Happy Guncles Uncles Day! 🎉 Today on Gay Uncles Day, we celebrate the special bond between gay uncles and their nieces and nephews. These incredible individuals bring joy, support, and love to their families, often in ways that are truly unique. Let’s also honor those who step into this role and recognize the vital presence of LGBTQ+ family members. Here’s to celebrating all the ways love and support enrich our lives. 💜✨

🌍 Today, on International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we honor the rich diversity and resilience of Indigenous communities worldwide. With over 476 million Indigenous Peoples across 90 countries, their languages and cultures are vital to our shared humanity. Let’s stand together to support their rights, celebrate their heritage, and advocate for a world where every voice is valued and respected. 🌍

Friends, this is NOT okay. Kids who are trans need access to life-saving gender affirming care. The decision to receive care must be made by a child’s medical team, their parents, and the child without fear or intimidation. Withholding this care increases the percentage of children who will attempt to end their lives because of their inability to live authentically. We need to keep fighting our legislators on this!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️
