LGBTQIA+ Icon: Audre Lorde

LGBTQIA+ Icon Audre Lorde, 1934-1992 (Writer, womanist, librarian, LGBTQ+ and civil rights activist)

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.”

“There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not lead single-issue lives. Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strength of our individual identities.”

 

June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) month. This month is a time of celebration, but also recognition of those who have participated in the journey toward equality, justice, and the freedom to love without fear. Each day of this month we will be spotlighting one of the people who has taken a stand in the struggle toward inclusion and acceptance for all.
