Family Inclusive Language Chart
Family Inclusive Language helps us avoid making assumptions about the identities of individuals and their relationships with others. Language conventions for describing families can leave out single-parent, adoptive, queer, multiracial, blended, and multi-generational families. Family Inclusive Language is a more accurate and respectful way of talking with and about people we don't know yet. Read more and find screen-reader friendly version here.
Museum professionals, art workers, and educators often use the Family Inclusive Language Chart in employee handbooks and display it behind admissions desks and in common spaces like breakrooms and bathrooms.

Looking for Queer Possibility in the Museum
Inspired by my article, Queer Possibility, this booklet is designed for LGBTQ museum visitors to tap into their own queer expertise to find queer connections at any museum, despite the fact that most museums still don't interpret queer content.
