LGBT+ History Month

LGBT+ History Month is celebrated every year in February and is an important opportunity to mark LGBT history and activism, celebrate movements towards equality and show solidarity with LGBT people in the UK and around the world who still face violence, harassment and discrimination at work and their everyday lives because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

For a very long time LGBT+ people’s history has been hidden and the contributions LGBT + people and communities have made to UK society overlooked. LGBT+ History Month gives us another opportunity to put the record straight. It enables us to celebrate the achievements and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary (LGBT+) people and highlight the ongoing struggles and discrimination they face.

In the United Kingdom LGBT History month is celebrated in February.
