LGBT history

The novelist John Hampson lived in Dorridge, a village in Solihull.

In 2010, Birmingham LGBT Community Trust commissioned a consultation with Solihull's LGBT community.[1]

Also in 2010, "Out in Public", a sub-regional LGBT Equality Seminar was held in Warwick, arranged jointly by the LGBT employee networks of Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.[2]

Pride in our Past is a project organised by Solihull Council to discover and record the LGBT experience of life in the borough, in both the recent and historical past.[3] The project organised an exhibition in Solihull Central Library & Arts Complex for LGBT History Month, February 2013.[4]

GaySol is a council-sponsored website for young LGBT people.[5]

Solihull Outpost is a local LGBT social group[6]

The LGBT Consortium at one time listed a Solihull LGBT Network.[7]
