On Friday, June 25th, the EDGE team will take the day to read/watch/listen to media by and about the LGBTQIA+ community.
We’ve curated a list of recommended selections, and invite the EHE community to join us. Feel free to dive into a selection from the list or enjoy something of your own choosing. If you’ve got great suggestions, please share them here.
