Pride month is a time where people of all genders, sexualities and identities come together to celebrate everyone and it’s a time to support everyone and come together as a whole. Pride History Month has been taking place for years and is celebrated across many different countries around the world, but when did it all start?

LGBT+ History Month is a month-long annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual trans, and non-binary history, including the history of LGBT+ rights and related civil rights movements. Pride History Month is celebrated in the UK in February to commemorate the abolition of Section 28. Section 28 was a series of laws that prohibited the promotion of homosexuality and it was in effect from 1988 to 2000 in Scotland and from 1988 to 2003 in England and Wales.

Pride History Month events first took place in February 2005. The event is intended to raise awareness of, and combat prejudice against, LGBT people and history. This was intended to bring everyone together despite whatever their identity was, and was a way for people to celebrate without facing discrimination.

Why is Pride History Month so important?

Pride History Month allows people to understand and learn about the struggles and discrimination that members of the LGBTQ community have faced and still continue to face in many countries. It also gives people a chance to celebrate their own identity and be proud of themselves for being a part of such a diverse and supportive community. This also highlights the fact that everyone around the world should have the right to be themselves and no laws should be passed to oppress people’s feelings about their own identity. The month of celebrations in February and June also provides a higher amount of freedom for people of all ages races, and identities. It is marked with festivals, talks, social groups and speeches from LGBTQ advocates which anyone can attend at any time, which can help people to learn more about the celebratory month.
