York LGBT+ History Month 2026

February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK.

This February, we come together as a community to celebrate the rich and diverse history of LGBT+ people, both locally and globally. York LGBT+ History Month is a time to reflect on the struggles and achievements of the past, to honour the contributions of LGBT+ individuals, and to continue advocating for equality and inclusion in all aspects of life.

The programme is now live. You can access it here or by clicking the image. Copies have gone to print and will be available from Portal Book Shop and Over the Rainbow Café.

Please contact each organiser for accessibility information. In the future, we will include this in the programme.

YORK LBGT FORUM EVENTS

Here at the York LGBT Forum we are committed to putting on events within York and the surrounding area in order to promote LGBTQ+ visability and bring the community together.

Throughout the year we have a mixture of funded events and fundraising events which help to raise awareness, allow LGBTQ+ to meet other like minded people and raise much needed funds for the Forum.

If you are interested in collaborating with the Forum to put on an event please email us at yorklgbtforum@gmail.com with your ideas.
