Join us for the Duluth Public Library's LGBTQIA+ Book Club, presented with Wild State Cider! This book club is for adults and will explore stories by and about queer people, both fiction and nonfiction. Please come ready to discuss the book and its themes. Folks are welcome to join even if they did not finish or read it—just be aware there will be spoilers! The library will provide discussion questions and we encourage you to sit with people you may not know. All are welcome and all of YOU is welcome.
March's selected title is "Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson" by trans artist, filmmaker, and writer, Tourmaline. About the book: “Thank god the revolution has begun, honey.” Rumor has it that after Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, she picked up a shard of broken mirror to fix her makeup. Marsha, a legendary Black transgender activist, embodied both the beauty and struggle of the early gay rights movement. Her work sparked the progress we see today, yet there has never been a definitive record of her life. Until now.
