LGBT+ History Month 2022

 

LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Plus) History Month takes place throughout February. it's a time to reflect on and celebrate the achievements and strides that the LGBT+ community have made through the years, as well as space to discuss issues that still affect many people today, and how we can work at KU and the Union to make progress in achieving equality.  

Our lineup of events is totally free to attend and open to all Kingston University students and staff. at all of our events, we'll be raising money for Mermaids, a british charity who help transgender youth. we hope to see you there!
