Happy LGBTQ+ History Month! In 1994, Rodney Wilson, a high school teacher from Missouri, thought there should be a month dedicated to the celebration and teaching of Q***r History! He gathered other teachers and community leaders together to begin planning the month. They selected October because public schools are in session and Coming Out Day occurs during the month of October (October 11th).

LGBTQ+ History Month was endorsed by GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Le***an Task Force, the National Education Association, and other organizations.
