For this LGBT+ History Month we have pulled together local events and community groups, reading lists and a Prominent figures area.
In this short interview we ask Salford activist Owen Power what LGBT+ History Month means to him.
About the month
LGBT History Month is an annual month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements. More about LGBT+ History Month
A recent survey shows that more than 10,000 Salford residents identify with LGB+ sexual orientation (msn.com)
This year's theme:
LGBT+ History Month 2023: Behind the Lens
The LGBT+ History Month 2023 #BehindTheLens 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.
