LGBT+ History Month at Kingston University
For LGBT+ History Month, staff and students come together to celebrate the rich and diverse history of the LGBT+ community.
We mark the occasion with an exciting events programme, open for all to attend. Events range from talks and art installations to movie screenings and live drag shows.

History Month is about claiming our LGBTQIA+ past, celebrating our present and creating our future. For so long, our history was hidden. This month creates an opportunity to share our rich and diverse history. We really hope you'll join us in celebrating LGBT+ History Month and encourage you to explore what's on offer.
We hope people learn something about LGBT+ History and become aware of our society. We provide a safe space to meet other LGBT+ students and people.
