LGBT + Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ a month-long, annual event focused on celebrating the lives, achievements, and history of the LGBTQ+ community, while promoting equality and education.

February is LGBT + History Month. We as a community have an important History, remembering activists who were brave enough to stand against inequality

We have some amazing activists here who challenged and fought for our Equality
We are happy to remember all those who led the way for us in this month and every single day.
This month we will be looking at the great sacrifices so many made in the Concentration Camps.
Here Gay Men and Trans had to wear the Pink Triangle and le****ns either wore Pink or Black.
We are honoured to support this Educational discussion with Unison Community and Voluntary Branch NI #5118 and other members of Derry and Strabane District Council, including Foyle Pride and the amazing The Rainbow Project who do so much for our LGBT+ Community.
Big shout our to all that sit in the Derry Strabane District Council LGBT + working group and their good relations team.

Watch out for other great events that the Rainbow Project are organising .

39 years later and his legacy continues to inspire.

Terrence Higgins Trust.

On this day in 1987, Mark Ashton, co-founder of Le****ns and G**s Support the Miners, was diagnosed with HIV.
His friend, Chris Birch, remembered that day: "I went to Guy’s Hospital that evening where Mark was sitting up in bed, holding court and generally camping it up. By the following afternoon, he was too ill for visitors."
Mark died less than two weeks later on 11 February 1987.
Chris's beautiful tribute to Mark, which he shared in 2014, has been republished on our website.
Read it now.

PEOPLE IN GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS DURING THE WAR HAD TO WEAR COLOURED TRIANGLES .

LGBT+ Wore Pink
Some Le****ns wore Pink or Black.

LGBT+ People always have suffered and have been persecuted.
We in Northern Ireland had to wait several years until we caught up with UK.

Today we remember all our LGBT+ People who died in Concentration Camps with the many other groups including Trade Unionists, Roma, Black People and many others. Obviously the Jewish People was the largest group and we remember all today and the pain everyone suffered
