Baton Rouge Pride is excited to introduce its newest community outreach endeavor, Queer Conversations. Queer Conversations will be a queer and questioning roundtable to foster open dialogue and tackle tough topics facing the LGBGTQIA+ community in a safe space, occurring on the third Wednesday of every month.

We invite community members to submit future topics, questions for existing topics, apply to become a moderator or panelist.

Talking points are set to include questions such as “What are some ways to ask and address diversity and inclusion policies when interviewing with recruiters,” “What is the best way to address misidentification and/or misappropriate use of pronouns in an interview or employment setting,” and much more.

TransGressions: A history of Trans identity (Coming june 2021)

With the current divisiveness and ongoing attacks poised at the trans community as of recent, we thought it necessary to combat intolerance and injustice with education and insight. This pride month, “Queer Conversations,” will be collaborating and combining with our trans-centric “Transgressions” event to highlight the history of the trans-identity.
​
In this special “Queer Conversation,” we will be discussing varying topics ranging from the evolution of what it means to be trans, how far the movement toward equality and equal protection has come, how far the movement has left to go, the current state of affairs, and what we as both members or allies of the community can do to help.
