The beginning of February marks the beginning of LGBT+ History Month, a month of celebration, reflection and education. Taking place annually, it is a time to honour the LGBT+ community, acknowledging the struggles, triumphs and contributions that have shaped the world we live in today.
Each year has a different theme to help showcase a different aspect of the LGBT+ community and its history. This year’s theme is Medicine, celebrating the community’s contribution to the field of Medicine and Healthcare, both historically and today.
LGBT+ History Month takes place annually in February. It was founded in 2004 by Schools OUT UK co-chairs, Paul Patrick and Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders, with the first LBGT+ History month taking place in February 2005. It was created to claim the past, celebrate the present and create the future of LGBT+ people, whose history was hidden for so long. The aim is to promote equality and diversity for the benefit of the public.
