Happy Pride!

On June 28, 1969, a group of patrons at a New York City gay bar called the Stonewall Inn spontaneously protested in response to a police raid. The protesters, largely gay men and trans women of various races, were in the streets for two nights, bringing unprecedented visibility to LGBT people in the United States, and laying the foundation for what would soon become the Gay Liberation Movement.

Annual commemorations of the Stonewall Uprising in the U.S. have transformed into a global month-long celebration of LGBTQ people. Read on to see what resources ACC libraries have available to enrich your knowledge of this exciting month!
