LGBTQ PRIDE Month

"The late U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts was the first openly gay federal judge in the nation. She was nominated in 1994 by President William J. Clinton to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York (New York City). Her sexual orientation, about which she was open, was not raised during her confirmation hearing and the Senate confirmed her appointment on a voice vote."

"Rainbow Book Month™ is a nationwide celebration of the authors and writings that reflect the lives and experiences of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, genderqueer, queer, intersex, agender, and asexual community. Originally established in the early 1990s by The Publishing Triangle as National Lesbian and Gay Book Month, this occasion is an opportunity for book lovers and libraries with the very best in LGBTQIA+ literature".
