LGBT History Month
If [LGBT+ history] was taught in schools it would show that LGBT+ people are just a part of everyday life and have been present throughout history but just haven been able to show it...it gives you someone to look up to or admire, and gives other people the chance to see that queer people can be successful and are just as much of a part of everyday society. Theo, a young person who has been supported by The Proud Trust’s mentoring program
LGBT+ History Month was founded in the UK by Paul Patrick and Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders.

This month is a celebration of the incredible contribution the LGBT people have made over history. King James V1 of Scotland and 1 of England was well known for his love of men. The ladies of Llangollen became a cultural hotspot in Regency society. These stories are missing from the history books. LGBT have always been in history this is not a new discovery, and people should no longer feel isolated or alone.
