Geneva Pride is taking place in June as usual, with events starting on May 31 with an opening night, culminating with the parade on Saturday 7. But Pride Month doesn’t end there! Set in June after the Stonewall riots of 1969, it expanded outside of the USA more recently. On this occasion, a selection of titles related to the LGBT+ movement and gender studies is on display at the entrance of the library to celebrate the event.
