[GRN] GRN References for Fam/Friends

[Sophia Wells]

Hey guys! 

Thanks for a great meeting last week! The topic had been about ways to
refute misconceptions about the queer community and sharing references
for friends/families/allies. Below are some great websites that offer
resources for understanding things such as what it means to be
transgender/non-binary, FAQs about being trans, intersections between
personal faiths and being queer, queer experiences in communities of
color, etc. These are great starting resources when it comes to
introducing these topics to friends or families. Most (if not all) of
these organizations were also started by LGBT+ folks! 

If anybody has any questions about the websites or want to recommend any
others you've found helpful, hit us up in an email or at the next
meeting (what we will be doing will be announced soon)! 

Go forth and educate some folks, or do some reading up on your own!
