LGBT+ History Month
LGBT+ History Month runs throughout February every year, with the aim of increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people, their history, lives and experiences.
It's a chance to re-examine histories we thought we knew and share new understandings of LGBTQ+ history and culture.
