Trainer: US Equestrian
Length: 57:46 Minutes
This webinar, which took place on June 30, 2021, is part of US Equestrian's DEI Community Conversation series.
Centered through the lens of diverse LGBTQ+ athletes and industry professionals, “An Introduction to LGBTQ+ and Becoming a Better Ally” provides helpful information about LGBTQ+ experiences and explores how people can become strong allies to their fellow equestrians, friends, and family. Panelists include Ashland Johnson of the The Inclusion Playbook, Rebby Kern of Equality North Carolina, and Chris Mosier of TransAthlete.com.
This conversation took place in recognition of Pride Month, celebrated every June to honor LGBTQ+ history and raise awareness about achieving equal justice and opportunity for members of the LGBTQ+ community in the United States. While Pride Month has its origins in the U.S., it has become a global movement with nations around the world celebrating Pride and advocating for the rights of LGBTQ+ people in their countries.
About the DEI Community Conversations Series:
US Equestrian’s DEI Community Conversations series will serve as a forum for raising awareness about the various experiences and issues affecting equestrians from under-represented or under-served communities. The series aims to lift traditionally marginalized voices from the equestrian community, and beyond, while building community across the broad network of horse sport enthusiasts. The series is an initiative of the DEI Action Plan’s comprehensive marketing plan strategy, one of 10 strategies to advance DEI in the sport over the next three to five years.
