LGBT+ History Month was established in 2005 in the UK to highlight the contributions of the LGBT+ community and to raise awareness about the ongoing fight for equality and human rights.

This month, we celebrate #LGBTHistoryMonth. The theme this year is #ActivismAndSocialChange. LGBT activists have a strong history of shaping social change - by honouring the work done previously, we inspire the next generation of activists to continue fighting for equality.

Delighted to open our policy weekend with an address from Kaukab Stewart MSP, minister for equalities for Scotland. A fab weekend looking at key priorities for the committee for the coming year, and reflecting on 2024 - our Year of LGBT+ Workers #UNISON #UNISONTHEUNION #UNISONSCOT
