LibGuides: LGBTQIA+ History Month October 2022: LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH 2022

Welcome to the McCarthy Library's 2022 LibGuide for the celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month! This year we feel that remembering LGBTQ+ history is especially important in the face of hostility directed towards the LGBTQ+ community, particularly at trans, gender-queer, and gender non-conforming members of our community. The McCarthy Library is proud to support the LGBTQ+ community and stands against bigotry and hatred.
