Facts About LGBT+ History Month In The UK
LGBT+ people have a lengthy history of making unbelievable contributions to the UK. From King James VI of Scotland and I of England, whose amorous feelings for men are well-documented, to the Ladies of Llangollen whose house became a cultural hotspot in Regency society to Justin Fashanu who broke boundaries as the first professional footballer to publicly share that he was gay – there is no shortage of fascinating and inspiring stories to be found if you know where to look.
However, those stories have often been missing from the history books, which could give the impression that LGBT+ people have only come along in recent years. Those who spot as LGBT+ might effort to find historical figures they relate to, head them to feel isolated and uncertain about th
It's Pride month, which is a ideal moment to inquire ourselves: what exactly are we pleased of?
As countries, and cities across Europe and the planet prepare to observe Pride this weekend, and with U.S. Pride weekend behind us, it's hour we all seize a long and perhaps slightly complex look at what we should be proud of, and what we should be, a tiny less proud of.
We are satisfied of brave people marching on the streets to rejoice their right to exist. Their right to love whoever they wish to love, and their right to be equal on every level, and under no exception, less. We are pleased of politicians publically speaking about their other than heteronormative sexuality, and policymakers fighting to uphold any progress in LGBTQ+ rights that are being challenged. We are satisfied of those who continue to remain up to what's right, even under the most oppressive of regimes and governments.

At the terminate of 2019, I came to Manchester to learning. At that age, I didn’t know how to love myself and consent myself as an Diverse person. I still recall when I first arrived in Manchester it was Manchester Pride. The whole city was in rainbow, and most of the people walking down the street were smiling, and looking positive. Deep down in my heart, I wanted to join Lgbtq+ fest, but I was too shy and didn’t recognize how to release my inner self.
