+Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans (LGBT) History Month takes place every year in February. It celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community. LGBT people have often hidden themselves in society for their own safety and have also frequently been ignored by others for their achievements and contributions. By presenting an honest appraisal of LGBT lives we seek to replace ignorance with knowledge and understanding.
