Lunch & Learn: Understanding Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity


Adult and Senior / Lifelong Learning -
Senior Program 2025-2026

Understanding Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, Presented & Sponsored by Paul Blom and Right at Home - In Home Care & Assistance for seniors in the Twin Cities

The conversation around sexual orientation and gender identity has evolved and become much richer than at any point in our society’s history. We will discuss sexual orientation and gender identity in all of its richness so that attendees can leave with a solid knowledge and understanding of both and the differences between them. We will use the history of the US treatment of those in the minority sexual orientation and gender identity communities (LGBTQIA) as a basis for understanding.

The agenda for the session is as follows:

  • 11:45am-12:10pm: Lunch and Socialize
  • 12:10pm: Welcome and Introductions
  • 12:15pm-1pm: Presentation

Right at Home - In Home Care & Assistance

Home—there’s no place like it. It’s where your memories are. Where you raised your family and where friends have gathered for life’s celebrations. It’s been your basecamp through good times and bad. And it’s where you want to stay. At Right at Home, our intention is to help you do just that. Why? Because we exist to be your guide to living successfully at home, wherever home may be. It’s our purpose.

Aging, disability, illness or injury can make living at home a challenge. We believe that no one should have to face the long list of complex decisions and unforeseen changes alone. We are experts, providing not just care, but coaching and experience to help navigate every step of the journey. Right at Home’s trained caregivers are passionate about helping clients because they know with each life they impact, they are changing the world.
