Throughout the month of October, which is LGBTQ History Month, area public libraries, schools, & other institutions are featuring educational displays made by Spencer Pride. Spencer Pride has created these displays for many years. This year’s theme is Hoosier Heroines/Heroes. It focuses on local LGBTQ+ organizations’ leaders.
The boards were assembled by volunteers from Spencer Pride & Iris, our youth group. Spencer Pride volunteers also distributed the displays throughout the region.
Organizations featured include: Spencer Pride, Iris Youth Group, Prism Youth Community, White River Valley PFLAG, Putnam Pride Initiative, Mooresville Gay-Straight Alliance, Bloomington PRIDE, & more!
This year’s displays are featured in 24 locations! This includes 10 schools, 12 public libraries, & 2 other institutions in 10 counties. These displays have been very popular over the years. Many of the organizations which display the materials request to keep them so that they can be utilized throughout the year in different capacities. It is, of course, our pleasure to comply with these requests. We see these displays as an excellent opportunity to expose the broader population to LGBTQ+ history, people, & issues.
