This February we’re celebrating LGBT+ History Month 2022. We will be bringing you a range of content, activities and events that share the experiences of the LGBT+ community, celebrate the diversity within it, and raise awareness of issues facing LGBT+ people at City of Glasgow College and worldwide.
LGBT History Month is a great opportunity to celebrate LGBT culture and progress towards equality over time, and to explore what the lessons of history can teach us for the future.
This year's theme is all about Blurring Borders – putting the focus on LGBT rights and history around the world, the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ migrants, and the ways in which we can support and learn from each other. LGBT Youth Scotland have a range of events across Scotland Exploring this theme that you can access by checking out their website.
