At Westminster we annually celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month in February with a range of events.
What is LGBTQ+ History Month
LGBTQ+ History Month is an annual celebration that honours the history, achievements, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people. We also use this time to raise awareness of the continued challenges and discrimination the community faces.
This year’s theme is "Science and Innovation", part of our daily lives from the technology we use to developments in healthcare, although it is difficult to name LGBTQ+ scientists and innovators.
