LGBT History Month

January 2022

In the UK in February is LGBT History Month which plays a big part in providing information and educating LGBTQ+ identifying people about their heritage. In the UK it is commemorated in February as a salute the abolition of the notorious ‘Section 28’ legislation, passed by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government in the 1980s, which threatened prosecution of public agencies who promoted positive identities for LGBTQ+ communities such as libraries and schools.

This year the theme is Politics In Art: ‘The Arc Is Long’ which ties with art in the school curriculum in England. Read more about UK LGBT History Month.
