Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans History Month takes place every year in February. It celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community.
It is committed to celebrate its diversity and that of the society as a whole. It encourages everyone to see diversity and cultural pluralism as the positive forces that they are, and endeavours to reflect this in all it does.
LGBT History Month (UK) was founded and is run by Sue Sanders, originally with the late Paul Patrick and now with Tony Fenwick.
