February is LGBT+ History Month, an annual time to learn and reflect on the history of the LGBTQIA+ community. Here at YourSU, the LGBTQIA+ Student Community is hosting different events and activities this week where you can learn more about the community, and celebrate the impact that LGBTQIA+ individuals have had on society.
LGBT+ History Month Events are here!
We celebrate LGBT+ History Month between the 16 February and the 20 February. It’s celebrated to allow for LGBTQIA+ students to feel included in our community, especially during a time of reflection for those belonging to this community. The week also focuses on building community, helping raise awareness and making change in areas most relevant to LGBTQIA+ students, and helping to educate students on the history and impact of the community itself.
This years' theme is Science and Innovation, focusing on those from the LGBTQIA+ Community and their impact on science and innovation in history and present day! Read more about the theme here.
