The event originated in the wake of the 2003 abolition of Section 28: Local Government Act 1988 which banned local authorities from LGBT issues in schools, and left thousands of young people without the support they so badly needed. LGBTQ+ History Month is a celebration to provide education and insight into the issues that the LGBTQ+ community face by highlighting specific histories, important events and milestones, alongside the people that have made change possible.
