U.S. LGBT History Month
October 1 - October 31
U.S. LGBT History Month, celebrated every October, is a dedicated time to recognize and honor the history, achievements, and ongoing struggles of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, started in 1994 by Missouri teacher Rodney Wilson to bring visibility to queer history, building on events like National Coming Out Day on October 11th. It serves to provide role models, build community, and make a civil rights statement, contrasting with Pride Month in June, and is supported by major organizations like HRC and GLAAD.
