#OKC GAY PRIDE PARADE 2021 PLUS#
As currently defined by most advocate groups and the media, the original designation has expanded to its current LGBTQ2S+ acronym, which stands for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and two-spirit,” plus additional sexual orientations and gender identities. Since then, it has grown to include parades and multiple other activities in communities across the United States and beyond. In celebration of the gay and lesbian community, Pride Month was first recognized nationally in 2000 by former President Bill Clinton, and June was officially designated as Pride Month in 2009 by former President Barack Obama.

The library’s children’s activities include making rainbow collages, pride flag rainbow crowns, and “pronoun pins,” as well as story times with special books supporting same-sex attraction and alternative gender roles. Patrons can also obtain yard signs proclaiming Pride Month. Numerous activities, videos, and suggested readings are included, many of which are geared toward young children and families.
