Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month at NTSU this February.
LGBTQ+ History Month is a time to celebrate and recognise the history, achievements, and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, while also reflecting on the ongoing fight for equality, visibility, and inclusion. This year’s celebrations centre joy, creativity, community, and resilience across Nottingham and beyond.
To mark LGBTQ+ History Month, NTSU has brought together a calendar of student-accessible LGBTQ+ events across Nottingham that highlight queer culture, history, and community. Below is a curated list of events offering a wide range of social, creative, educational, and celebratory opportunities throughout February.
