All our staff believe in the importance of #LGBTQHistoryMonth & throughout February we will be asking our team to reflect on what this means to them.
Today we have Charlotte Jones, Marketing Officer and Ed Wakefield Digital Officer offering their perspectives:
'LGBTQ+ History month is important to me as it raises awareness of the LGBTQ+ community. Letting people's voices be heard and listened to, plus knowing that it's okay to always be yourself. A time for reflection and to look at how far we have come as well as an opportunity to learn.' - Charlotte
'Coming from an arts background, the LGBTQ+ community is a huge part of the Birmingham scene. It's great to see diversity embraced, not ignored, or worse - prejudiced against. We still have a long way to go, but it feels like there are more allies than haters!' - Ed
We will be providing helpful links, contacts and quotes until the 28th February, so watch this space!
