Join us for an illuminating evening with several celebrated authors who will share insights from their latest book exploring untold LGBTQ+ narratives in Southern and Creole history in recognition of Pride Month. This special event will include a reading, a Q&A session, and a book signing opportunity with several prominent members of the New Orleans LGBTQ+ community, including Larry Bagneris, Robert Fieseler and Frank Perez.
