Jeff Natter, current South Whidbey Pride board member and previous President, will be the speaker at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island.

His topic: Queer rights have come under unprecedented attacks in the past year. There are over 400 bills pending in states across the country to curtail and/or eliminate queer and transgender rights. Similar actions have gained traction internationally. The hard-fought gains LGBTQ+ people have made in recent decades are eroding quickly. In this environment, love is not enough. Pride, acceptance, a welcoming embrace: these are not enough. We need to take action, individually and as a community.

Jeff Natter will outline some of the actions that we can each take to help defend ourselves and our loved ones.
