So they moved inside to the Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia. The organizer was expecting 25 people. At least 80 people showed up ~ including Dr. Michelle Reid, FCPS Superintendent. It was a good day, and people needed people ~ especially given all that is happening with LGBTIQA+ staff and students in Virginia schools. TGEA helped to sponsor this event. Finding, forming, and creating safe spaces for community is our mission, and part of what we&#8217;re all about!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/7ed73837001\/786ce345-2d36-45aa-9563-fc29f248297a.pdf\"> Additional Photos HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the Omicron variant of the COVID pandemic, TGEA will host the Second Friday meeting virtually via ZOOM.
