Pride Month is dedicated to celebrating and commemorating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread worldwide. Modern-day Pride Month both honors the movement for LGBT rights and celebrates LGBT culture.
This week we will highlight three incredible local LGBT poets and their work – Elizabeth Gordon, Nancy Klepsch, and Tim Verhaegen.
