It’s hard to believe that only six years ago the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state laws banning same sex marriage. What a milestone. But. Stigma is still a fact of life, and the FBI reports that hate crimes related to sexual and gender identity are on the rise. Meanwhile state governments are taking up anti-LGBTQ legislation at an alarming rate. How are things going in North Carolina? How much does the oppression of stigma impact the mental health of this community? Join us for a discussion with Kori Hennessey of the LGBT Center of Raleigh, Rebby Kern of Equality North Carolina, and Alex Vitagliano of the Frank Harr Foundation of Wilmington.
Thursdays with NAMI starts at 7pm and is free and open to all. Join us via Facebook Live or click here to register to participate via Zoom and to view the schedule for future sessions.
