Taking pride in diversity and inclusion

A rainbow flag on a flagpole

Wednesday 17 May is the 18th anniversary of the first International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex Discrimination and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). In that time, the name of the day has evolved and is now known as the Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination.

It’s a day when we celebrate people and families in the LGBTQIA+ community through a variety of activities being hosted by Boroondara Library Services, including;

  • bespoke LGBTQIA+ fiction, non-fiction and young adult reading lists to find your next great read
  • a talk with psychologist, author and educator Chris Cheers to hear about his book, The New Rulebook, and a discussion on LGBTQIA+ wellbeing.
