LGBTQ+ History Month is a time to recognise and celebrate the lives, contributions and achievements of LGBTQ+ people throughout history and across all areas of life. Since the first UK LGBTQ+ History Month in 2005, communities have come together to highlight the richness and diversity of LGBTQ+ experiences and to create spaces where everyone feels safe, seen and supported.
