DESCRIPTION:Join the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance for a book discussio
 n series brought to you in partnership with Mead Library highlighting the 
 diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community. Each month a different book covering 
 a unique perspective on the queer experience will prompt deep, thought-pro
 voking, and inspiring conversations for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ an
 d straight allies alike. And if you don't know how you identify, but 
 have a good faith desire to learn with curiosity and humility- we welcome 
 you too. Join us for this facilitated book club that celebrates and explor
 es queer life, love, and liberation. Books and discussions in this club m
 ay contain mature themes and language. \r\nHere's the Summer/Fall li
 neup. Click the book titles to see a brief description:\r\nJune 2: The Sec
 ret to Superhuman Strength (2021) by Alison Bechdel\r\nJuly 7: Pet (2019) 
 by Awkaeke Emizi\r\nAugust 4: The Art of Fielding (2011) by Chad Harbach\r
 \nSeptember 1: The One You Want to Marry (And Other Identities I've H
 ad): A Memoir (2021) by Sophie Santos\r\nOctober 6: More Happy Than Not (2
 015) by Adam Silvera\r\nNovember 3: Gender Queer: A Memoir (2019) by Maia 
 Kobabe\r\nIn 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a
  comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e wo
 uld ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with
  strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intens
 ely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which inc
 ludes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling wit
 h how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic 
 gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to e
 xplain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Que
 er is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gen
 der identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, frie
 nds, and humans everywhere.\r\nEach title is available at the first floor 
 desk of Mead Library one month in advance of discussion.\r\n
