LGBT HISTORY MONTH 2019
Early day motion 2096, tabled 21 February 2019 by Angela Crawley (Scottish National Party). Signed by 21 members.
That this House recognises February as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month 2019; affirms that this month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans history serves to challenge heterosexist attitudes in society; commemorates the struggle for gay rights and related civil rights through the past decades and celebrates the increasing freedoms and equality afforded to the LGBT community in recent years; welcomes the themes of Peace, Activism and Reconciliation for this year's celebrations; and further celebrates the progress made to create a culture of acceptance in educational and other institutions in the UK, which allows LGBTpeople achieve their full potential and contribute fully to society.
