This February marks the UK’s 22nd LGBT+ History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions, stories and histories of the LGBT+ community.
The month was founded by Schools Out, a charity which works with schools to promote education against prejudice and create safe learning environments for all.
It is celebrated in February to coincide with the 2003 abolition of Section 28, which prohibited the ’promotion of homosexuality by local authorities’.
While the national month is known as LGBT+ History Month, we use this time to celebrate all LGBTQ+ communities.
