LGBTQ+ History Month is observed every October and serves to highlight the rich history and achievements of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. Founded by Rodney Wilson, this month aims to provide recognition and education about the struggles and successes of LGBTQ+ individuals. It coincides with National Coming Out Day on October 11, fostering a spirit of celebration and reflection. Activities during this month include hosting film nights featuring LGBTQ+ filmmakers, organizing quizzes about LGBTQ+ history, and conducting workshops on sexual health. Participants are encouraged to wear rainbow colors as a show of solidarity and support for LGBTQ+ rights. The observance also emphasizes the importance of learning from the past to continue advocating for equality and inclusivity.
