The LOFT Supports #SpiritDay
Celebrating International Pronoun Day!
The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center is PROUD to support and celebrate International Pronoun Day!
From Pronouns.org
International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace.
Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities.
