UK LGBT + History Month - From Ace-Zir, the A-Z of LBGTQ+

Join one of University of Bradford LGBTQ+ staff network co-chairs, Neil Turner, at this online event for a useful glossary of LGBTQ+ terminology.

Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, or an ally wanting to know more, this session will help you understand what terms like aromantic, cisgender, intersex and two-spirited mean. You'll learn about a wide range of terms, and some examples of words which have fallen out of favour.

UK LGBT+ History Month

LGBT+ History Month is an annual month-long observance of past struggles and achievements of LGBTQIA+ people and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements.

In the UK, it takes place every February and was originally created by Schools OUT UK. It aims to promote and advance equality, diversity and inclusion.  In 2025 Schools OUT is celebrating its 50th year and 20 years of UK LGBT+ History Month.

The 2025 UK LGBT+ History Month theme is Activism and Social Change.
