LGBT+ History Month is an important opportunity to mark LGBT+ history, celebrate equality and show solidarity with LGBT+ people in the UK and around the world who still face violence, harassment and discrimination at work and their everyday lives because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

LGBT+ History Month is celebrated every February, and the theme this year is ‘Body, Mind and Spirit’.

The aims of LGBT+ History Month are to tackle prejudice and highlight the significant contribution individual LBGT+ activists, campaigning organisations, Trade Unions and communities have made to winning LGBT+ equality.

Visit their website for free downloadable resources including the hidden histories wall chart and the official 2021 LGBT+ History Month logo which you can display on your workplace noticeboard together with Usdaw’s 2021 poster.

Anyone worried about LGBT+ issues at work is encouraged to join the Union. Usdaw has a strong track record supporting and representing LGBT members who have experienced discrimination and harassment at work.

We produce a wide range of union materials aimed at raising awareness of LGBT+ rights at work and tackling prejudice.

Most importantly, there is a dedicated network of Usdaw Reps and activists in workplaces across the country who stand up to support LGBT+ members every day.
