Events District-Wide to Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month with Exciting Activities

Bradford: This February, the district is buzzing with a mix of in-person and online events to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month. There’s something for everyone, from learning about LGBTQ+ terms to exploring the history of key activists and the iconic rainbow flag.

The lineup includes exhibitions and even a ramble. It’s all organized by Bradford Council, the University of Bradford, Out Together, and Equity Partnership, with many events being free.

This year’s theme is all about activism and social change, highlighting five historical figures: Octavia Hill, Ivor Cummings, Annie Kenney, Charlie Kiss, and Olaudah Equiano. You can check out displays about these activists at local libraries.

Plus, youth ambassadors from Bradford Council’s youth service will be creating resources to help young people learn about LGBTQ+ history. Councillor Kamran Hussain is excited about the packed schedule, saying it’s a great mix of informative and fun activities. He hopes everyone will join in and make the most of it.
