LESSON 2 - Terminology

As we learn more, our language and our understanding of identity grows and evolves. This lesson focuses on better understanding what many of the terms used within the 2SLGBTQ+ community mean and how they are used.

However, it is important to remember that language is constantly evolving and a term that is left out today may be highly favoured tomorrow.
