Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Trans (LGBT+) History Month

LGBT history monthThe University of Manchester has celebrated Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Trans (LGBT+) History Month with a timetable of varied events, every year since 2010.

The 2023 theme of ‘Behind the Lens’ gives us the opportunity to look at the contribution made by LGBT+ film and documentary makers whilst also looking at our own UoM LGBT+ History.

This year we’re delighted to welcome speakers such as Prof Jackie Stacey  and Dr Kit Heyam as well a curator-led tour of ‘Queering the Whitworth’.  There will also be a session on the LGBT+ History of the University of Manchester as well as an end of month celebration.

 All events are free, but need to be booked in advance. Full details can be found on our dedicated events page.

At the University we aim to ensure our campus, our work and our policies and procedures are fully inclusive to all sections and intersections within this vibrant and active community. We continue to work hard at addressing any inequalities we are made aware of by working closely with our staff and student groups.
