This month is LGBT+ History Month in the UK and TE’s EDI Working Group has some ideas on how to get involved.

LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH UK
LGBT+ History Month 2022 is a month-long, annual, celebration and remembrance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history. This year’s theme is Politics in Art.

It is important to recognise LGBT+ History Month every February ahead of LGBT+ Pride Month in June. The two events work together to educate people on historic LGBT+ events, celebrate equality milestones and improve LGBT+ equality in the United Kingdom.
