Hot Lit Finale!
NYC is literally bursting with Pride this month events from Bliss Days a celebration of LGBTQIA+ Womxn to the Pride Island Music Festival and of course the world famous March June 26!
On the lit front, there's still time to visit our friends at Bradbury Sullivan Center for Pride in Print which celebrates two regional publications found in the Lehigh Valley LGBT Community Archive: Above Ground and Gaydar Magazine.
My favorite NY Public Library has a great Pride line up and is also offering a free ebook stating: "to get New Yorkers started with the NYC Banned Books Challenge, we’re making one of the books, popular YA title Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, available with no waits via our free e-reader app SimplyE through June 26. Winner of the National Book Award and featured on NYPL’s 2021 Best Books for Teens list, this book explores issues of race and sexuality—and has been the subject of recent book banning efforts."
And always a whirlwind of pride, our friend Jamie Brickhouse is perfroming in a few spots as he shares: "I'm the headliner for "Tell Me Another: An Evening of True Stories" for West Hartford, CT Pride month, Friday, June 10 at 8pm. I'm performing both of my solo shows, Dangerous When Wet: Booze, Sex, and My Mother and I Favor My Daddy: A Tale of Two Sissies presented by the San Miguel Literary Sala as gala benefits for the San Miguel Writers Conference in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Tues, June 28 (Dangerous When Wet) and Thurs, June 29 (I Favor My Daddy).
