If you're interested in the issues faced by sexual minorities abroad, culturally sensitive travel tips for LGBT people, or how individuals adapt to a radically different set of values, or if you are a person that wants to work abroad but is worried about other cultures that are often less than tolerant of people who are lesbian or gay, consider attending "Have Rainbow, Will Travel: The LGBT Experience in the Peace Corps," an online seminar hosted by the PeaceCorps.
The seminar is Wednesday, June 30th from 6 to 7 p.m. PST (9 to 10 EST). Registration required (contact Kate Kuykendall to register).
Attendees will learn how volunteers balance their desire to be "true" to themselves with the need to be respectful of the host country and culture -- and to be successful Peace Corps volunteers.
