LGBT History Month February 2012

LGBT History Month

The LGBT community isn't new. It's thousands of years old and has included hundreds of millions of people contributing to every area of society.

Throughout LGBT History Month we're going to be celebrating those contributions and opening up the debate on gay issues.
