Sheffield Children’s is marking LGBTQ+ history month with a range of education sessions, opportunities to chat and discuss, and a whole host of suggestions to learn more, all thanks to the LGBTQ+ Equality Network.
February marks the start of LGBTQ+ History Month, a month long celebration of the history of the beautiful and diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. It is a time to celebrate and reflect on the importance of civil rights movements in progressing gay rights, and over the years has evolved into a national collaborative effort to bring extraordinary figures from the LGBTQ+ community into the spotlight.
The LGBT+ History Month 2023 theme is #BehindTheLens. It celebrates LGBT+ peoples’ contribution to cinema and film from behind the lens. Directors, cinematographers, screen writers, producers, animators, costume designers, special effects, make up artists, lighting directors, musicians, choreographers and beyond. At a time when LGBT+ lives are in the media we also encourage you to look ‘Behind the Lens’ and listen to LGBT+ peoples’ lived experiences.
You can even test your knowledge with a quiz – see a version for anyone outside of the Trust on our Instagram highlights.
We’re grateful if you take the time to learn about LGBT+ history.
