Film and Discussion with Director, Drew Emery on his film: "Inlaws & Outlaws" This film about marriage speaks from experience. The film follows the lives of ordinary folks as they figure out their own path to happily ever after — with more than a few surprises along the way. When the film begins, you don’t know who’s gay or straight, and who’s with whom. By the end of the film, you may have it all figured out, but you no longer care who’s gay or who isn’t: You’re rooting for everyone. |

"The Legacy of Matthew Shepard." by Judy Shepard (the mother of Matthew Shepard). Having spoken to over 1 million people at colleges, high schools, universities, churches, businesses and symposiums worldwide, Judy speaks to what people can do to make their schools and communities more accepting of everyone, regardless of sex, national origin, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression. Utilizing a combination of video, court statements, and discussion to educate students on hate language and hate crimes, Judy Shepard discusses how hateful behavior is a learned behavior.

SAFE ZONES TRAININGS
The Safe Zones Trainings are professional development opportunities for UNH faculty, staff, and graduate students to advance awareness, knowledge, and skills around the services and support that we provide to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) students and colleagues.
Safe Zones Trainings are offered within a two-part series:
Safe Zones Level 1 (1 hour) focuses on increasing awareness of the issues and experiences of LGBTQ individuals, using inclusive language, accessing important campus resources, and discovering specific ways to be allies.
Safe Zones Level 2 (1.5 hour) focuses on exploring specific issues related to providing services to LGBTQ students and developing skills to take active steps toward reducing and preventing harassment, discrimination, and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
Participants of Safe Zones Trainings are a campus-wide network of allies who are supportive of LGBTQ faculty, students, and staff and are committed to contributing to a campus climate of inclusion at UNH. To schedule a Safe Zones Training for the faculty and staff in your department, please contact: Ellen Semran, Safe Zones Coordinator, at 862-5053 or ellen.semran@unh.edu. For more information, please visit our website: http:www.unh.edu/safezones/involve/facstaff.htm. Safe Zones is sponsored by the President's Commission on the Status of GLBT Issues and the Office of the Multicultural Student Affairs.
