LGBTQ History Month aims to raise awareness of the LGBTQ community, while combatting prejudice and celebrating achievement and diversity. While focusing through a specific lens, it offers many of the insights of any form of history – not least, an understanding of how we have come to be where, what, and how we are.
To mark the month, we’ve invited three LGBTQ poets to read from their own collections, exploring how their personal stories have played out across decades that have seen significant and often turbulent social and societal change.
