Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans History Month takes place every year in February. It celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community.
We are committed to celebrate its diversity and that of the society as a whole. We encourage everyone to see diversity and cultural pluralism as the positive forces that they are and endeavour to reflect this in all we do.
2013 is dedicated to maths, science and engineering and 2014 will be dedicated to music.
As if IDAHO (see current affairs – above) isn’t enough, May is also an opportunity to celebrate Harvey Milk Day in memory of the USA’s first elected gay councillor. Although celebrated chiefly in the US, the day is international and you can organise an event and register on the website. For more details go here
Support the LGBT community by making a donation, whether its big or whether its small, they are all appreciated and help go a long way into making LGBT History Month as strong as it is!
