LGBT+History Month

LGBT+ History Month takes place every year from the 1 to 28 of February. It was initiated by the LGBT+ Education charity Schools Out UK in 2005.

LGBT+ History Month is a month-long annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bi/bisexual and trans, and non-binary (LGBT+) history. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the history of LGBT+ rights and related civil rights movements.

The year’s (2025) theme is Activism and Social change, to find out more visit lgbtplushistorymonth.co.uk/lgbt-history-month-2025/
