LGBT+ history month

Our upcoming LGBT+ History Month programme isn’t available yet. Check back nearer the time to find out what we’re up to.

History Month is about claiming our LGBTQIA+ past, celebrating our present and creating our future. For so long, our history was hidden. This month creates an opportunity to share our rich and diverse history.

We really hope you'll join us in celebrating LGBT+ History Month and encourage you to explore what's on offer.

Sarah Geard and Simon Collins, Stand TALL Think BIG (STTB) LGBTQIA+ Staff Network co-chairs

We hope people learn something about LGBT+ History and become aware of our society. We provide a safe space to meet other LGBT+ students and people.
