EVENTS:
October 2018 is Black History Month in the UK and LGBT History Month in the USA. To see our list of important black LGBT+ people go here. To mark each day of October there will be an LGBT face for the day. To open the face click here
Throughout February 2018
our theme is Geography:
Mapping the World. We will be commemorating two rather sombre events; the 30th anniversary of the passing of Section 28, which prohibited local authorities from disseminating materials that ‘promoted homosexuality’ in schools; and the fortieth anniversary of the murder by shooting of Harvey Milk, the USA’s first out-gay elected councillor. On a happier note, the rainbow flag was launched upon an unsuspecting public in 1978, although sadly its creator Gilbert Baker passed away last year. And 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Sarah Waters’ classic Tipping the Velvet
