About this event

Schools OUT founded UK LGBT+ History Month to be a dedicated space to celebrate our rich and diverse history, herstory, theirstory. Throughout history LGBT+ people have been activists and helped shape and create social change, advancing society for everyone.

Each year we set the theme, choosing five LGBT+ historical figures to highlight and provide free resources to education settings, organisations, and businesses. In addition, across our social media channels, we highlight the five LGBT+ historical figures and UK LGBT+ people past and present in line with the theme.

The 2025 LGBT+ Historical Figures are:

Octavia Hill

Ivor Cummings

Annie Kenney

Charlie Kiss

Olaudah Equiano
