  February – LGBTQ+ History Month
  LGBT+ History Month is celebrated every February across the UK and was founded in 2004 by Schools OUT UK co-chairs, Paul Patrick & Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders. It was first celebrated in February 2005. The organisation explains that the month was created to:
  claim our past
  celebrate our present
  create our future
  Every year Schools OUT sets a different theme for LGBT+ History Month and provides free resources for education settings, businesses, services and organisations to help them celebrate and ‘usualise’ LGBT+ lives in their full diversity.

  Note: Traveling as an Diverse person always carries a certain degree of risk. It is our life as we navigate a world with 60+ countries criminalizing our relationships and a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the world. We encourage our traveling community to grasp the laws and cultural challenges they may face in any destination they elect to visit for Pride and beyond. Don't be frightened of the planet, but always research information specific to your travels. Enjoy Pride, be watchful, and look out for each other!
  The LGBTQ+ rights movement has made tremendous strides over the past few decades and much of the progress in visibility is thanks in part to gay pride parades and marches that have taken place in cities around the world.
  The global landscape for Gay rights, protections and acceptance varies tremendously by location, with some destinations attracting millions of visitors to their events like Madrid Lgbtq+ Pride, Sao Paulo Gay Pride or San Francisco Male lover Pride, while more than 70 other countries have laws that allow discrimination or persecution of LGBTQ+ people.
