Kim Adamski, HIV Prevention Specialist at the Hartford Gay & Lesbian Health Collective, will discuss LGBTQ+ cultural competence. What do different LGBTQ+ labels mean? What is the proper use of pronouns? What is the difference between sex and gender? How do healthcare disparities disproportionately impact black LGBTQ+ communities, and how this is affected by COVID-19?
