Join us as we kick off LGBT History Month 2026 in York with an inspiring launch event celebrating diversity, inclusion and the rich history of LGBTQ+ communities. This year’s theme is “Science and Technology”, focusing on the stories and contributions that have shaped progress and continue to drive equality forward.

The event will feature:

• Performers sharing lived experiences and insights on LGBTQ+ history and activism.
• Talks exploring current challenges and opportunities for inclusion.
• Community Organisations highlighting local projects and initiatives.
• Networking opportunities to connect with advocates, allies, and community members.

Free and open to all – everyone is welcome, although donations are appreciated. Donations will be held by York LGBT Forum (registered charity 1162234)

Let’s come together to honour the past, celebrate the present and inspire a future where equality and diversity thrive.
