U.S. LGBT History Month
2026-10-01 - 2026-10-31
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.

Intersex Awareness Day
2026-10-26
Intersex Awareness Day, celebrated annually on October 26, is a global day for grassroots activism to end shame, secrecy, and non-consensual surgeries on intersex people, advocating for bodily autonomy, physical integrity, and self-determination. It marks the anniversary of the first public protest by intersex activists in Boston in 1996, who demanded respect from the medical community for variations in sex characteristics (chromosomes, gonads, genitals, hormones) that don’t fit typical male/female definitions. The day highlights the challenges intersex individuals face and promotes understanding, inclusivity, and human rights.
