LGBT+ History Month 2020 - Calibre Audio Library
Summary
It’s LGBT+ History Month https://lgbtplushistorymonth.co.uk/ A time to “educate out prejudice and make LGBT+ people visible in all their rich diversity”, as well as a great excuse, not that we needed one, to look at some of our newer LGBT+ books in the Calibre Library. So get ready to wrap your ears around these: The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When Garrard was nineteen he was outed to his parents, and was forced to either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to “cure” him of homosexuality, or risk losing family, friends and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. In Brexit Britain, young transgender doctor, Ry, is falling in love with Victor Stein, a professor leading the public debate around AI. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa, life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs Wray and her unmarried daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.
