May 16 is National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day, a time to pay tribute to those who have paved the way for the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender) community to obtain and continue to seek important legislation and rights. We have numerous elders to thank for the strides made over the last several decades towards equality. As with other civil rights movements, their work has not been easy. Their struggles and victories are marked by courage, persistence, passion, and authenticity so, today, we celebrate them.
![Join us next week for this month's Queer Literary Society session!
This upcoming Friday, September 29, we'll meet at noon in our library to connect over September's Book of the Month: "Chicana Lesbians: The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About," edited by Carla Trujillo. As always, we'll have coffee, tea, snacks, and a lovely discussion led by Courtney, our MSW Intern!
The event is free, with no sign-up or registration needed; all are welcome! Feel free to bring a friend, a partner, a roommate, a reading buddy, or whoever you'd like!

The top of the lavender rectangle reads "Book of the Month" in purple text, followed below by a photo of the cover of "Chicana Lesbians: The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About," edited by Carla Trujillo. Next to the cover on the right and left are two white and light purple clouds, one of which reads, "Join us Sept. 29th, 12PM."]](https://grpride.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
