Welcome to McCarthy Library's 2024 library guide for the celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride Month
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, considered by many to be the start of the modern LGBTQ+ movement. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

Northern California Public Media was the media sponsor of this event and produced this documentary featuring a walking tour of the exhibit and the speaking program held that night with Charley Beal, president of the Gilbert Baker Foundation, and Cleve Jones, author and long-time LGBTQ+ activist.
