LGBT+ History Month was founded 18 years ago by Schools OUT, a charity making educational institutions safe spaces for our lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities. It now takes place each February. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the first Pride March in the UK. The theme for LGBT+ History Month 2022 is Politics In Art: The Arc Is Long.

Parapride has launched a new digital project: Our Stories – a series of video testimonials that feature co-members of the LGBTQIA+ Disabled community, talking about disability inclusion in the queer community, sharing some of the struggles but especially speaking up about the stories of empowerment through their lived experiences.
With this project, Parapride aims to change the narrative and challenge the misrepresentation of Disabled people. Videos will be released weekly in February and March on the Parapride YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ8LBqmzoEA&t=22s
