In celebration of Pride Month (June), Azure Beach invites you to join us for our Human Libraries Event. To celebrate our vast and diverse community and to bring awareness towards a community in need of support, we have four volunteers for this library event, each discussing what being LGBTQ means to them.
The LGBTQ+ Community:
Discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ community is as present within our world as ever before. With Two-thirds (64%) of LGBTQ+ people had experienced anti-LGBT+ violence or abuse.
