Library hosting Pride Mixer

Ready for the Dunedin Public Libraries Pride Mixer with a selection of rainbow Lego is library supervisor Philip Jarvis.Mr Jarvis said it was a great way to showcase the queer literature and films that were on offer at the library.

Queer literature had played a vital part in the discovery of his own identity and providing easy access could benefit many people.

There had been great strides made with LGBTQ+ rights in recent years, but there was still a long way to go as many countries still outlawed same sex relationships, he said.

Pride events were a great way to make sure progress was still being made while celebrating the diversity throughout the community.

The mixer was hosted with help from community group Dunedin Pride and would take place today at 6pm at the Dunedin City Library.
