Happy pride month! Last June I created a “Pride Animal” a day, this year I’m embarking on a different kind of art-a-day to celebrate pride. Every day in June, I will be posting an illustration that highlights an LGBT+ activist who I believe everyone should know. This series will be in no way comprehensive, but I hope to bring some awareness to those who have paved the way for this to be a month of celebration. I hope you enjoy learning about these individuals as much as I have enjoyed researching them!
The first activist I’ve chosen to spotlight is Barbara Gittings, you can learn more about her incredible achievements and activism here:
