LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH
Claim It, Celebrate It, Create It February 2024 marks almost 20 years of the annual LGBT+ History Month. From poignant plays to quirky cabarets, these local events are a true celebration of Cambridge in colour
WORDS BY PHOEBE HARPER
O riginally launched by co-chairs of Schools Out, Paul Patrick and Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders, LGBT+ History Month has been celebrated across the UK every February since 2005. The initiative was born following the much-celebrated repeal of Section 28 in 2003 and continues to operate under the mantra of ‘claiming our past, celebrating our present and creating our future’. In line with this year’s theme of Under the Scope, we cast our eye over some of the local happenings that encapsulate the creativity and diversity of Cambridge’s LGBTQ+ scene while respecting its history.
