Happy LGBTQ+ History Month. This month is a month-long celebration of the history of the diverse le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, and q***r community and the importance of civil rights movements in progressing the rights of all people.

The observance was created by Rodney Wilson, a history teacher at a Missouri high school, in 1994. The following year, LGBTQ+ History Month was added to the list of commemorative months in a resolution forwarded by the General Assembly of the National Education Association.
