Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month
October is LGBTQ+ History Month. LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but LGBTQ+ history, which is an integral part of the history of the United States, has often been ignored or erased. We offer a few of our resources for learning and teaching about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people, including articles, posters and our 13-episode podcast series, Queer America, devoted to this understudied history.
As we celebrate and uplift all identities of the LGBTQ+ community, we honor those who have been part of the long struggle for civil rights and inclusion, recognizing the progress that has been made toward equality. And we commit to the fight to ensure that everyone can live with dignity and have their full human rights respected.
This month and every month we celebrate and affirm the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.
Queer America Podcast
From Learning for Justice and hosts Leila Rupp and John D’Emilio, Queer America reveals stories of LGBTQ+ life we should have learned in school. This 13-episodes series can help us learn about and teach LGBTQ+ history.
