LGBT+ History Month

Celebrating LGBT+ history month at UWE Bristol

LGBT+ History Month is an opportunity for all of us to learn more about the histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the UK.

Throughout February, there are a number of events which mark LGBT+ history month at UWE Bristol and in Bristol.
