The month of June is Pride Month and here at the Library we “pride” ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming place to visit. We thought it might be interesting to share with you some history about Pride Month and show you some resources for learning more about LGBTQ+ culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason that Pride occurs in June is because it marks the date of the <\/span>Stonewall riots<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in America. This was a significant turning point in LGBTQ+ rights, galvanising movement towards greater equality. The first Pride parade occurred a year later on the anniversary of the riot, and parades around the world have marked the occasion ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pride Month is a celebration of how far LGBTQ+ rights have come and about bringing attention to work that still needs to be done. It’s also about having a lot of fun and some truly fabulous parades!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are an LGBTQ+ student you can join\u00a0<\/span>Edinburgh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Napier\u2019s LGBTQ+ Society\u00a0<\/span><\/a>or find out more about the student LGBTQ+ community on the\u00a0<\/span>Queer Napier<\/span><\/a>\u00a0site. Staff can join the\u00a0<\/span>University\u2019s thriving LGBTQ+ Network<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<\/span>web pages<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to learn more about becoming an ally.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Library has a wealth of books and articles on the subject. From the history of LGBTQ+ rights to current Legal information to keep you informed. Use <\/span>LibrarySearch<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to find what you are looking for, or\u00a0<\/span>contact us<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for help with any of your research needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
