February is… LGBT History MonthLGBT History Month takes place in Scotland every February.
It is an opportunity to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer lives and culture, and to recognise the significant contribution LGBT people have made to our country and the world at large. It is also an opportunity for learning, discussion and debate around the continued fight for LGBT liberation.
Every year a growing number of colleges work in partnership with groups and organisations all over Scotland to programme a range of arts, cultural and educational events.
LGBT Youth Scotland has a number of resources to help organisations promote LGBT History Month:
