LGBT+ History Month - October

This is not to be confused with LGBT+ Pride Month, which is usually June.

In the United States, Canada, and Australia, it is celebrated in October. In Hungary and the United Kingdom it is observed during February (in the UK this coincides with a major celebration of the 2003 abolition of Section 28). In Berlin, the capital of Germany, it is in May (known as Queer History Month). 

In the United States, October was chosen as the month for the celebration because the first and second LGBT Marches on Washington, in 1979 and 1987, were in October; National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is on October 11 to mark the date of the Second March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1987, and October is within the academic calendar year.  

LGBT History Month is intended to encourage honesty and openness about being LGBT. While it was first known as Lesbian and Gay History Month, it has become known as LGBTQ+ History Month.
