LGBT History Month is celebrated throughout February each year. Each year LGBT History Month celebrates a different aspect of LGBT life. In 2012 we celebrated achievements in Sport, so we created a Timeline of UK LGBT Sport; in 2013, Science: Timeline of UK LGBT Science; 2014, Music: Timeline of UK LGBT Music; 2016, Religion, Belief and Philosophy: Timeline of UK Religion, Belief and Philosophy.

This wiki has now received over 39,000 edits and eight million page views, and been upgraded to a WikiFactor of 20. A WikiFactor is a measure of the importance of a wikisite, and shows that at least 20 of the articles have been viewed over 20,000 times.
