February is LGBT history month in the U.K. The purpose of this month is to commemorate, educate and celebrate both past and present issues, achievements and contributions associated with members of the LGBT community.
LGBT History Month and Pride Stats
The event originated in the U.S in 1994 and has since been adopted by other nations. The first LGBT history month took place within the U.K in 2005 and unlike its U.S counterpart, is celebrated in February as it is a quieter month academically which allows for those within education more time to commemorate this month with their students. In the U.K last year there were a staggering 1,500 events across the country for LGBT history month and 64 Pride events throughout the year. The biggest of these being London Pride, which was estimated to have had 1.5 million visitors! LGBT history month and Pride events have really grown over recent years and as more companies seek to encourage and promote inclusivity and equality in their organisations, these events are often sponsored by and participated in by such companies. Last year London Pride was sponsored by an array of organisations from Barclays Bank, Budweiser,Tesco and even Puregym. Pride events also welcome charities and smaller organisations promoting services for the LGBT community. One thing they all have in common when attending these events is their desire to show their pride with a variety of logo printed pride merchandise.
