The Southbury Public Library invites interested adults and Grades 6-12 to join us for the lecture “The A in LGBTQIA+” from 6:00-7:00pm on Tuesday, February 6, 2024 in the Kingsley Room of the Southbury Public Library.
In this talk with Cody Daigle-Orians (they/them) of Ace Dad Talks, we'll learn the basics of asexuality: how it works, who's in the community, and what we can learn from the asexual community. We'll also talk about ways we can create more affirming and inclusive space for the asexual folks in our schools, in our workplaces, and in our lives, with a special focus on how to support asexual youth. This event is open to Grades 6-12 and adults. Registration is requested.
About the presenter: Cody Daigle-Orians (they/them) is a writer and asexuality educator living in Columbus, Ohio. They are the creator of Ace Dad Advice, a social media-based asexuality education project designed to support people exploring asexuality or questioning their sexual orientation. Their passion for education and supporting queer youth stems from ten years in the classroom and many more as a freelance teaching artist. Their young adult book “I Am Ace: Advice on Living Your Best Asexual Life” is out now and their second book “The Ace and Aro Guide to Relationships” comes out later this year. They are queer, ace, and agender.
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library and is presented in collaboration with the Middlebury & Southbury Equity & Inclusion Council.
