HAPPY LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH! 🏳️‍⚧️🌈🎉

Thank you to LGBTQ+ icons like Marsha P. Johnson, Larry Kramer, Audre Lorde, and Bayard Rustin for their advocacy and their work. From fighting for civil rights, to raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, to leading the LGBTQ+ movement, these icons have shaped LGBTQ+ history.

Who is an LGBTQ+ icon that inspires YOU? 👏

Support in Cincinnati ❤️

This month at Pozitive Attitudes, we’ll use art to explore the stereotypes and assumptions that can affect our communities—and the stigma people living with HIV may experience.

Caracole Case Manager and licensed art therapist Angie Hester, MA will lead us through a creative experience where we’ll have a chance to challenge those ideas, share our perspectives and express what we want others to understand about who we are beyond the stereotypes.

Join us for conversation, creativity and community. No art experience needed!

Dinner provided. Transportation available if needed.
🗓️ Wednesday, October 14
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Clifton Cultural Arts Center, 3412 Clifton Avenue, Cincinnati, OH
