Simon’s Rock will host their annual Pride Week Lecture with guest speaker Dr. Kyle Velte (she/her). Simon’s Rock observes Pride Week every year in late March and early April to honor International Transgender Day of Visibility and to allow students time to celebrate during the academic year. In Dr. Velte’s lecture , The Legal Minefield for LGBTQ+ People and How You Can Make a Difference, Dr. Velte will cover the current legal and political landscape of LGBTQ civil rights, talk about allyship, and talk about how to resist without giving up joy in these dark legal and political times.
