SUMMARY:LGBTQ Virtual Film Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Are movies your thing? Looking for a conversation about LGBTQ 
 topics?\n\nJoin us for the LGBTQ monthly film discussion series! Each month 
 we will discuss an LGBTQ film through the library's Kanopy collection. It's 
 all about watching films\, sharing stories\, and having an honest 
 conversation about the tough issues faced by the LGBTQ community.\n\nThis 
 month we are watching:\n\nMy Transgender Life: Seven Members of the 
 Transgender Community Share their Stories \n\nKANOPY LINK: 
 https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/402513\n\n \n\nA moving 
 documentary on what it's like to be transgender\, to grow up in the wrong 
 gender and eventually transition to a different sex. A documentary designed 
 to record\, share and celebrate the personal stories of transgender women 
 and men and their stories of struggle\, of courage and of triumph. Though 
 they vary in age\, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds\, each person 
 has fought to cast off the gender assigned to them at birth and embrace 
 their true selves. The decision to transition from one gender to another is 
 a life changing one not just for the transgender person but for their 
 family and friends. Male or female\, boy or girl? Most of us can answer 
 that question without a second thought\, but for some people\, the answer 
 isn't so simple. Encouraging classroom discussion\, this program helps 
 students to think of the differences in each of us in a positive way\, 
 breaking stereotypes\, acceptance\, challenging prejudice and increasing 
 visibility for the transgender community. \n\n \n\nThis series allows us to 
 explore complex topics. Due to adult content and mature themes\, viewer and 
 participant discretion is advised.\n\nThe program will be presented online 
 using Webex. Registration is required. Registered participants will receive 
 an email with instructions on how to join the meeting. Don't see the email?

 instructions on how to set up a Kanopy account visit

 you require an accommodation to participate in a Phoenix Public Library 
 program\, service\, or activity? Call 602-262-4636\, TTY 711\, or submit 
 your request in person or through Ask Us at least 14 business days before 
 the event. \n\nThe Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance has partnered with 
 Burton Barr Central Library to produce a program featuring a series of 
 award-winning films that showcases the experiences of the LGBTQ community. 
 The series highlights the artistic contributions both nationally and 
 internationally of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, and transgender films and 
 filmmakers. Our goal is to create a diverse film series that educates\, 
 entertains\, and offers the viewer an opportunity to experience the 
 challenges and triumphs firsthand.
