Pictures of Pride

Curated by: Mariana Prestigiacomo

Pride Month is celebrated every year in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. This commemorative month recognizes how lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals impacted history locally, nationally, and internationally.

Book cover for "Black Queer & Untold" by Jon Key, featuring abstract red and black artwork with bold white title and subtitle text about designers, artists, and trailblazers. Gender queer: a memoir Two worried characters hide among cacti and flowers under a starry night sky. A spider web with a skull accentuates the eerie atmosphere. Text reads "The Hills of Estrella Roja."
A hand holds an e-reader next to a stack of hardcover books, with a green potted plant on the left. The scene conveys a blend of digital and traditional reading.
