You will be able to experience LGBTQ+ history the next time you visit the Sturgeon Bay branch of the Door County Library. The Open Door Pride display at the branch coincides with Library Card Sign-Up Month, a nationwide effort to get Americans to ensure they have an up-to-date library card. The display features pictures from  Open Door Pride's Cathy Grier to the Governor's Mansion earlier this year and the seven unique awards given to the seven recipients of the Sandy Brown Award. Since 2018, the Sandy Brown Award has honored someone or an organization who exemplifies the Open Door Pride mission. While Pride Month is in June, Grier says the timing is also a sobering reminder for those who struggle with acceptance during National Suicide Prevention Month.

According to The Trevor Project, 41 percent of LGBTQ+ young people considered seriously attempting suicide in 2023, including roughly half of transgender and non-binary youth. The display will be up through the end of September.
