Pronouns and honorifics

Dear venue staff,
Our company does not recognize society's obsession with the gender and sexuality binary. We encourage people to be themselves in all manner of life. As such, you will encounter people attending our even that use the honorifics Mr., Ms., Mx. (pronounced Mix), Miss, Mrs. Additionally, folks will use pronouns such as he, they, she, xe, ze, and hir. We will be providing badges or nametags for people to identify which honorifics and pronouns should be used in which case. Please see to it that you use the proper ones for each member of our team. Lastly, our diverse team of folks know what bathrooms are appropriate for them to use. If you see a member of our team using one that you don't think is right, ignore it. They know better than you."
