Library page celebrating Pride month 2023, including link to virtual display of graphic novels The Laurier Library is commemorating Pride month! We hope all members of our library and university community, near and far, can continue to engage in thoughtful celebration and activism towards the LGBTQ+ community. As always, Pride is a month of celebration and parades, but we would like to reflect on all the work that members of the LGBTQ+ community have done in the fight for continued gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer rights across the spectrum of diverse identities, including sexual, gender, and racial. The rights of this community continue to be threatened and challenged! It is important to forge ahead and continue advocating for the LGBTQ+ community. This year, to commemorate Pride, the Wilfrid Laurier University Library has curated a book display highlighting LGBTQ+ graphic novels. These books celebrate and amplify LGBTQ+ voices, authors, illustrators, and artists. The works featured in this collection range from mainstream voices, such as DC Comics, to smaller presses. These volumes feature coming out stories, stories about heroes in the community, stories about different sexual and gender identities, and stories about love, loss and decentering normative narratives. We hope this collection inspires you to find new stories and voices within the LGBTQ+ community and continue to engage in dialogue, activism and allyship throughout the year. Â
