Some of the #publishers fighting #BookBans and celebrating #PrideMonth are also suing the #InternetArchive. "If anything, Pride Month should be the moment in which publishers join librarians in their efforts to make as much knowledge as available as possible to as many people as possible. #OpenAccess is thus an essential tool in the fight for #LGBTQIA+ rights and minority rights in general."
