The GLBTQ Trivia Game - We played this at our January 2008 meeting instead of having a program. Everyone learned some things, and it lead to some great discussion. The questions are from information we gathered in various places. We played it by having one person read the questions and we went around in a circle for answers, then if that person didn't know we opened it up to others. After answer(s) were given the person reading the questions confirmed what was said or read the answer on the sheet.
