Barbara Gittings was a librarian, gay rights activist, and editor of lesbian magazine The Ladder, published by the Daughters of Bilitis. She marched with Frank Kameny in Washington DC, she helped get the American Psychological Association to remove homosexuality from the DSM, and she was very active in ALA’s Taskforce on Gay Liberation (which has now morphed into the GLBT Round Table), including its Hug A Homosexual booth at the 1971 annual conference. You can read more in her history of the taskforce, Gays in Libraryland.

I would also like to add that I was parked when I took this picture and the earrings were a gift. Yes I know they’re fly as hell.
Another tumblrarian who is very close to my heart. (And whose earring are indeed fly as hell.)

When I’m not lounging on a hot dog chair, I work as a medical librarian. After working at a park district leading nature hikes for many years I changed careers to become a librarian. I’ve been a children’s and teen librarian (laid off due to budget cuts) and am hoping to get back into youth services now that I have my MSLIS degree.
HOT. DOG. CHAIR.
