SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Book Club: Are you my Mother\, by Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:The monthly LGBTQIA+ Book Club meetings are open to students\, staff\, and faculty\, and titles relate to LGBTQIA+ stories and histories. This is made possible in collaboration with the Women’s and Gender Studies program. \nIn this introspective and incredibly layered graphic memoir\, acclaimed cartoonist Alison Bechdel turns her lens inward to explore the complex relationship between mother and daughter. A companion piece to her bestselling Fun Home\, Are You My Mother\, traces Bechdel’s lifelong effort to understand her emotionally distant mother—a former actress\, avid reader\, and frustrated artist—through the prisms of psychoanalysis\, dreams\, and literary theory. \nBlending personal history with the works of Virginia Woolf\, Donald Winnicott\, and other thinkers\, Are You My Mother? is a poignant meditation on identity\, memory\, queer becoming\, and the psychological imprints of maternal love.

SUMMARY:Lavender Graduation
DESCRIPTION:Lavender Graduation is a celebration\, a declaration\, and a refusal to be erased. It honors LGBTQIA+ students who have navigated academic institutions that were not always built with them in mind—students who have excelled\, led\, and fought for their right to exist unapologetically. This ceremony is both a milestone and an acknowledgment of the barriers these students have overcome and the futures they are forging. The event will feature a keynote address\, entertainment\, and a reception\, bringing together students\, faculty\, families\, and community members in an atmosphere of joy\, solidarity\, and recognition. \nA Lavender graduate is anyone who is graduating from college and identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. If that applies to you\, you are encouraged to sign up to walk at Brooklyn College’s Lavender Graduation ceremony. \nGraduates Sign Up Here Audience Members RSVP

This month’s book is I Want to Be a Wall\, by Honami Shirono. \nAny love story aficionado will say that the key to a successful couple is intense desire for one another\, but what if the characters in question are an asexual woman with a passion for Boys Love stories and a gay man whose heart forever belongs to his oblivious childhood friend?
