Pride & Joy: Reading and Discussion with author Kathleen Archambeau
Kathleen Archambeau is the award-winning author of Pride & Joy: LGBTQ Artists, Icons and Everyday Heroes, with stories of luminaries, from Tony Kushner to Emma Donoghue, from Bill T. Jones to Colm Toibin, with a Foreword by Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black (MILK). The book promises LGBTQ citizens of the world a bright and fulfilling future.
The Gay and Lesbian Review (Nov. - Dec. 2017) has said, "Kathleen Archambeau's study profiles thirty individuals who represent the full spectrum of the LGBT rainbow. Each subject comes across as a complex person and not just a checked box...This book would be especially appropriate for teenage readers in search of gay role models." The book has been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and a Publishing Triangle Award.
Kathleen will be at the Diversity Center to do a short reading, show videos from her website, and conduct interactive mini-discussions on the topics that arise from the videos.

Silent Reading Party at the Diversity Center Library
Come join the Diversity Center for the ultimate antisocial social event! Are you having trouble setting aside a time to read? We’ll spend seventy-five minutes reading silently to ourselves, surrounded and supported by other people also reading.
Bring your own book or try out one of the books in our lending library; put down the smartphone and pick up the paperback (or the Kindle).
In the last fifteen minutes, everyone will be invited to share any thoughts on what they read, discuss LGBTQ+ themes, ask for recommendations, etc. This is 100% optional; you can simply listen, or keep reading, or leave early, and no one will complain.
Please contact librarian@diversitycenter.org with any questions.
