LGBT+ History Month is celebrated every February.
The theme for this year’s LGBT+ History Month 2021 is ‘Body, Mind and Spirit’.
The aims of LGBT+ History Month are to tackle prejudice and highlight the significant contribution individual LBGT+ activists, campaigning organisations, trade unions and communities have made to winning LGBT+ equality.

How has the pandemic affected LGBT+ lives?
Whilst life changed for every one when the Coronavirus crisis was triggered in Spring 2020 its impact and more specifically the measures Government introduced to control the spread of the virus affected LGBT+ people and their communities in several unique ways.
LGBT+ people already face a wide range of inequalities throughout their lives. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that they are disproportionately affected by the crisis but the ways in which they have been disadvantaged has to a large extent remained hidden from public view.
