It's LGBT+ History Month, this year's theme is Celebrating Activism and Social Change. You may wonder how can you get involved to raise awareness and support LGBT+ history month?
Well here are a few things you can do
- Educate yourself and those around you. Read books, articles, and watch documentaries that explore the history and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. This LGBTQ+ glossary is a great place to start.
- Uplift the voices of LGBTQ+ people. Whether this is people in your family, colleagues or people online, listening and sharing queer voices is important.
- Attend Events. Look for local or online events and activities related to LGBTQ+ History Month. These could include lectures, panel discussions, film screenings, art exhibitions, or community gatherings.
- Support LGBTQ+ Organisations. There are many organisations, such as Stonewall, that work towards advocacy, education and support of the LGBTQ+ community.
- Support LGBTQ+ Businesses. Choose to support LGBTQ+-owned businesses during the month and beyond. This could include restaurants, shops, or service providers.
At The Recovery College, we have a great Recover Together LGBTQ+ group as part of our connecting pathway where we meet and learn about things close to the hearts of the LGBTQ+ community.
