Celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month
October 2020
Take some time this month to learn more about LGBTQ+ history. Lambda has collected a number of resources for you to explore, from a magazine that summarizes Lambda's Black LGBTQ+ June 2020 digital profiles, to reading recommendations. This month is all about celebrating the past, as well as learning from the present, so we hope our collection of works inspires you to make history of your own.
