  • Sexual Intimacy Policy

  • Identity, Inc. supports comprehensive sexual health education for youth.  Many young people do not receive adequate education in their schools that speaks to the needs of LGBTQIA2S+ and allied youth.  Sex between individuals should be safe, informed and consensual.

    HOWEVER, sexual activity and intimacy between all participants at Identity sponsored events is absolutely prohibited in order to create a safe, respectful experience for everyone.  We ask that you agree to not take part in sexual activity and intimacy while you are participating in the Summit.

    Q:  What is allowed under this policy:

    A:  People can engage in behavior that is consistent with friendship.  That includes holding hands, walking close together, small kisses on the cheek when saying goodbye, talking to each other and spending free time together.

    Q:  What is NOT allowed:

    A:  Anything that goes beyond holding hands or having a conversation.  Kissing on the lips, close physical contact (i.e. cuddling or spooning), or any activity that involves less articles of clothing that you would wear to school is not allowed.  Public displays other than those listed are not allowed.

  • Behavior Policy

  • I agree to all of the following conditions of behavior during all 2022 Youth Summit related activites including transporation (as necessary):

    • All people should be treated with respect at all times.  Any form of harrassment or inappropriate behavior should be reported immediately to chaperones and/or Identity staff
