2 3 LGBT+ History LGBT+ history is an important part of LGBT+ life. LGBT History Month is celebrated in February in the UK each year. The overall aim of LGBT History month is to promote equality and diversity by increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) people, their history, lives and their experiences. Why young LGBT+ People think LGBT+ History is Important?

• To see where we have come from • It used to be illegal to be LGBT+ • It used to be classed as a Mental Illness • If we don’t remember it could go backwards • Marsha P Johnson (a black trans woman) started the stonewall riots, without her we wouldn’t have pride • Respect for those that fought for our rights • Education • Grateful for what we have now • Teaches that we’ve come really far and empowers us to go further • LGBT History needs to be taught so we can learn from history to prevent bad things from happening • Teaches non-LGBT+ people about discrimination and raises awareness of identities • Being aware makes us considerate to the struggles other people have faced

One day we will be LGBT+ history!

But there are others that are like The Proud Trust (formerly LGBT Youth North West) is a regional organisation Romeo and Juliet; their relationship wasn’t meant that seeks to support LGBT+ young people and has a long a positive history to be and one or even both of them die of working alongside GYRO in Liverpool.

The Proud Trust asked young people As his younger self, Danny is a nerd who is quite quiet and shy until he meets from GYRO in Liverpool to take part in a series of sessions to pilot ideas for Carter as his roommate.

It’s one of the most emotionally powerful movies that I have ever seen. It’s not like a fairy tale nor does it has a happy ending. Whilst I would normally prefer happier endings, it was a great experiencing watching Watercolours which was a part of my process of coming out, making it one of the best movies I’ve watched and definitely recommended for those who are looking for a LGBT themed film with a powerful storyline.
