February is LGBT History Month

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) History Month, the Schools Out initiative to help fight homophobic bullying that had its pre-launch at the British Museum last November, is back this month for the 6th year. This means that throughout February, a varied selection of (mostly) free events (over 200 of them) will be taking place around the country and, of course, in London. There is a handy calendar on the LGBT History Month website to help you choose between the book launches, talks, quizzes and other exhibitions on offer.
