LGBT History Month shines a spotlight on LGBT history and culture. It's a celebration and an opportunity to reflect on progress made and challenges yet to overcome. We're thrilled to now unveil the theme for February 2021: Unsung.
Selective documenting of history and culture has been a pervasive issue for centuries, and the stories of LGBTQ+ people of colour are notably underrepresented; not least within the LGBTQ+ community itself. This marginalisation is not limited to race, as we have seen similar side-lining of disabled LGBTQ+ people, transgender people and women. To tell the story of LGBTQ+ activism, our triumphs and our tragedies, we should seek out and share these stories, as there is empowerment in representation.
All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
