Leadership Program Recommendations
Dale Carnegie Training
Leadership Training program that specializes in online training that isavailable nationally and regionally
Offers a multitude of webinars and applications around leadershipdevelopment
Examples: Virtual Meeting Training, Mentorship Webinar
Flexible in terms of content and timeline
Online platform allows for uniformity in training across regions, giving the PrideFoundation’s up and coming LGBTQ leaders a universal experience.
We recommend this option because it would allow the PrideFoundation to choose from a variety of online training modules andimplement them in a customized timeframe.
Would allow Pride Foundation to offer training based on the needs oftheir regional leaders and volunteers.

Ableism
The all-encompassing system of discrimination and
exclusion of people living with disabilities.

Ableism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
Ableist and cisnormative hierarchies construct what is seen as
“legitimate” and “illegitimate” reasons for body modification
or transition (Baril & Trevenen, 2014, p. 407)
Sex-assignment at birth is also based on medical and cultural
“normalities” (Colligan, 2000, p. 490)
Expectations to mentally mirror our physical appearance
Visibility and visuality can produce negative effects for those
whose bodies are deemed unnatural

Ageism
The discrimination of elders because they are stereotyped
as being "senile, rigid in thought and manner, old fashion
in morality and skills”.
(Adams et. al, 2010)

Ageism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
Lack of recognition for elders that identify as LGBTQ
are disregarded for their efforts in equality and
understanding.
LGBTQ is perceived as a young persons community
that excludes older generations.

Classism

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/artifact-e-beyond-campus-jesuit-context-commitment 15/25
Classism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
As LGBTQ identities become more “accepted” in mainstream
society, class begins to play a role within the community.
When fighting for equality, the unequal playing fields of
socio-economic status and access didn’t seem to matter somuch, but now that the fight seems to have died down, class
lines have become more visible within the community. This is
a significant issue that Pride Foundation volunteers should be
aware of and work to alleviate.

Linguicism
Discrimination based particularly on language, tied to
discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and class.

Linguicism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
People who do not speak “proper English” are often written
off as less intelligent and unimportant in conversation.
Intersection with race and ethnicity: POC, immigrant communities,
etc.
Important to examine accessibility of language around sex,
gender, gender identity, etc.

Racism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
“Double Minority”
Not accepted in either
community
Racism within this identity
group keeps people form
uniting
Eurocentric focus of LGBTQ
equality fight ostracizes
queer people of color.
Stereotypes collide
Asian-American LGBTs are
viewed as more passive
and feminine, while
African-American LGBTs
are viewed as more
masculine and aggressive
White voices in the fightquiet those of people of
color

Religious Oppression
& LGBTQ Intersectionality In the LGBTQ community, many
are shunned from their owncommunities of faith becauseof their sexual orientation,
gender identity, and/or genderexpression.
Others may be stigmatizedwithin the LGBTQ communitybecause of their religious

Sexism & LGBTQ Intersectionality
By not living up to normative masculine standards of datingwomen, gay men are emasculated and seen as “less than”men.
A sexist hierarchy exists in the LGBTQ community that reflectslarger society. That is, white gay men are epitomized.
As a result, femininity is devalued. This is apparent in venuessuch as gay bars that discriminate against women.
Discrimination against individuals that do not play into thestrict masculine/feminine binary exists in the gay community.Those who do not fall into a clearly masculine or femininecategory are stigmatized.

Upon completion of the Academic Service Learning Project, we plan to present our
research to the Pride Foundation’s Board of Directors and/or staff. Our research will
provide the Pride Foundation with leadership development opportunities for their
community organizers located in five states in the Pacific Northwest region. Additionally,
the Pride Foundation will receive this training tool to adapt, aimed at educating
community activists, organizers, and volunteers on the importance of intersectionality in
LGBTQ work.
