In honor of Pride Month, we have crafted a resource guide centered on queer philosophers and philosophies. We want to highlight LGBTQ+ thinkers and their work, and celebrate the tremendous impact and contribution to the field of philosophy. These thinkers represent only a handful of the many important queer philosophers of history and today, and we hope you'll continue to learn and explore beyond the scholars and lineages of thought we've highlighted here.

As with many of these national commemorations, one month is never enough time to fully honor and celebrate the history and culture of marginalized communities, let alone heal the legacies (and ongoing reality) of harm they've experienced. We recognize that there is much more to be done, and that the work of realizing justice won't soon be over. But nevertheless, we keep trying, contributing how we can and building upon the efforts of those who came before us, and we continue to learn from and with one another.
If you'd like to engage more deeply with Pride Month, IU Libraries have created a number of interrelated resources and features to provide more holistic coverage of this celebration. You'll find those, below:
