LGBTQ+ History Month (UK)

Flags at the ready, folks-February is LGBTQ+ History Month in the UK! Observed annually, it’s a time to celebrate our rich history, herstory, and theirstory while marking the progress made since the repeal of Section 28 in 2003-a law that once prohibited the promotion of homosexuality in schools. This month honours the achievements and contributions of LGBTQ+ communities and shines a light on the ongoing challenges they face.


Each year, LGBTQ+ History Month sets a theme, highlights five LGBTQ+ historical figures, and provides free resources for schools, organisations, and businesses to get involved. From pride-themed socials and history walks to vibrant art exhibitions and film festivals showcasing LGBTQ+ stories, there’s something for everyone. Head to their website to discover this year’s theme and campaign message-it’s the perfect time to celebrate, educate, and foster inclusivity while recognising the continued journey toward equality.
