Pride Month Resources 2021

June 11th, 2021

To celebrate Pride Month, the Krupp Library is highlighting LGBTQ+ stories and voices we have in our collection or are available online. As we elevate these books and articles, we believe it is also important to speak honestly about the inequities faced by LGBTQ+ people, with more than 1 in 3 having experienced discrimination in 2020. The library believes that reading and learning from the perspectives of queer people is essential to making lasting change.
