As LGBT+ History Month begins, we celebrate LGBTQ+ people past and present.

The 2026 theme, Science and Innovation, shines a light on the contributions LGBTQ+ people have made to STEM and healthcare.

Looking forward to the events and conversations this month will bring. 🏳️‍🌈

Today is the first day of LGBT History Month

LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold.

This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.
