1st – 28th February
LGBTQ+ History Month
February is LGBTQ+ History Month, and this year’s national theme is:
Science & Innovation
The 2026 theme focuses on the contributions of LGBT+ scientists and innovators, addressing historical harm in science, and celebrating diversity in STEM fields.
LGBTQ+ Society
LGBTQ+ Society welcome anyone from any gender or sexual minority to join their society, and even allies who wish to support the community.
LGBTQ+ History Month is for everyone; whether you work in education, a museum, a library or an art gallery, a business, a service, or are a member of a network/social group or an individual.
It is celebrated every February across the UK and was founded in 2004 by Schools OUT UK co-chairs, Paul Patrick & Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders. It was first celebrated in February 2005.
For so long LGBTQ+ people’s history was hidden, following the repeal of Section 28, UK LGBTQ+ History Month was created to:
- claim our past
- celebrate our present
- create our future
