twenty-six

The staff here are putting us through intensive anti-racism training.  I am always excited to learn, but I am finding that through this training a lot of the participants are starting to segregate themselves.  Ally with people who share their different understandings and experiences. 
It is creating a lot of strife within our group.  I think confrontation is a good thing.  It helps clear the air, but at the same time I think that causing factions is never a good thing in such a small group.

How would you all handle this situation? 
Do you think the fact that majority of us are GLBTQ influences our need to segregate and make stronger alliances?

Yours freely,
