Our heroes of LGB History Month

Our heroes of LGB History Month

It’s vital to remember our history, especially as so much of it is being rewritten. For LGB History Month, we published stories of LGB heroes that you may never have heard of as well as some better known names. It is a never-ending job to ensure that the men and women who helped to build the lives we are able to live now (at least in many of our countries) are not forgotten, nor the lessons for how we made steps towards equality.

On X, Instagram and Facebook you can read about 15 heroes: Hans Scholl, Tove Jansson, Harman Bang, Qiu Miaojin, Edwards Carpenter, Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Paddy Chew, Ana Maria Moix, Emil Dimitrov, Queen Christina, Magnus Hirschfeld, Frieda Belinfante, Heinrich Hössli, Mahinārangi Tocker and Heinz Heger. Let us know if you have suggestions for next year’s LGB History Month.
