From BC to AD, LGBT+ people have existed.
Saturday is the start of LGBT+ History Month in the UK. #LGBTplusHM25
Founded by Schools OUT, February 2005 was the 1st UK LGBT+ History Month.
20 years later it's more important than ever to share our history, herstory & theirstory.

Throughout history LGBT+ people have been activists & helped shape & create social change, advancing society for everyone.
