June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and we felt it fitting to cover what pride is, as well as a brief history of the event.
And a LOT of book recommendations! (see below)
Originally, LGBTQ+ Pride events took place on June 28th to commemorate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which began on June 28th after the Stonewall Inn was raided by law enforcement and lasted until July 2nd.
Since then, Pride has expanded significantly.
The month of June was declared Gay and Lesbian Pride Month in 2000 by President Bill Clinton.
Join us for a special event with Dr. Temple Grandin, one of the world's most accomplished and well-known adults with autism. Dr. Grandin has been at the forefront of research and activism for autism and neurodiversity for decades. Her memoir Emergence: Labeled Autistic, was published in 1986 and she has continued to write about autism and neurodivergence. Her most recent book is Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions.
