What LGBTQ+ History Month Means To Me


LGBTQ+ History Month holds a special significance for me as a bisexual woman in a straight relationship.

It provides a dedicated space to celebrate and embrace an aspect of my identity that often goes unseen.

Because of my heterosexual partnership, societal assumptions grant me the privilege of not having to explicitly share, justify or even defend my queerness on a daily basis.

However, this month allows me to proudly acknowledge and honour the full spectrum of my identity.

It is a time to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community, fostering a sense of solidarity and understanding.

By participating in LGBTQ+ History Month, I contribute to a broader narrative of inclusivity and recognition, emphasising that diverse sexual orientations exist within all walks of life.

This celebration transcends assumptions, fostering visibility and acceptance, creating a world where every facet of my identity is not just acknowledged but celebrated.
