Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month has been taking place in February every year since 2005 to celebrate and recognise the achievements of LGBT people across all cultures and time. Sponsors include the Ministry of Justice, Amnesty International and the Crown Prosecution Service. CSIE would like to encourage our supporters to look at the organisations website: www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk

The pre-launch to 2011’s LGBT History Month, based around the theme of inclusion in sport for LGBT people, takes place on 2nd November at Twickenham Stadium and is open to the public. The daytime and evening programme is packed with interactive workshops, best practice, presentations, inspiring speakers and an exhibition area.

Please see www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/documents/LGBTHistorymonth2011.pdf for further information about the pre-launch, including details for registration.

CSIE encourages our supporters to organise events in February and register them on the official LGBT History Month calendar: www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/calendar/Events_Calendar.php
