Join Brittany Rupik and Queer ASL for an interactive workshop designed for queer parents and families to explore American Sign Language (ASL) through an LGBTQ+ inclusive lens. Learn signs and gender-neutral terms for family members, parents, babies, and more while building connections with Deaf culture and the queer community. This welcoming, one-hour virtual workshop offers practical tools families can use in everyday life, with space to learn, ask questions, and connect.
Brittany Rupik is a Deaf actor, educator, ASL performer, and ASL coach whose work spans theatre, music, sports, and education. She is also a mother of four and has shared her language and culture with her children by teaching them ASL. Her passion for ASL extends from her family life into her professional work, where she brings Deaf culture, language, and representation to classrooms, creative projects, and performances.
Founded by Zoée Montpetit in 2009, Queer ASL is a Deaf-run American Sign Language program built by and for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, with allies warmly welcomed. At its heart, Queer ASL is about bringing people together through language, culture, and community. Our Deaf queer, trans, and non-binary instructors create welcoming and accessible spaces where students can learn ASL while connecting with Deaf culture and community.

MORE ABOUT PREGNANTTOGETHER:
Hi! I am Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them), a licensed midwife, published author, and parent. I have over fifteen years of experience working with folks who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, and am also the founder of PregnantTogether— because I’m deeply passionate about supporting queer folks and solo parents through the whole process of growing their families, and building community in the process.
Note: your first two weeks of membership to our PregnantTogether community is FREE and only $20/mo thereafter with no commitment. This and all future events are always free for community members. In the community you can connect with other pregnant people or folks trying to conceive, receive advice for your virtual midwife (me!) and attend all PregnantTogether events and workshops like this one for free! You’ll also get access to TONS of recorded resources that will make this journey less overwhelming. The community is a nurturing, resourceful, and safe place for queer folks, solo parents, and anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong in the dominant narrative of what “family” should be.
