In the 1990's, teachers and community organizations determined that a month should be designated for GLBT history. They chose October because public schools are in session and traditions, such as National Coming Out Day, occur then.
Modeled after Black and Women’s History Month, GLBT History Month highlights annually the achievements of 31 gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender Icons—one each day—with a free video, bio, bibliography, images and other resources. Take the Trivia Challenge each week and the Rainbow Challenge at the end of the month.
How It Works
Beginning October 1, 2008, a new GLBT Icon video is presented daily. Each day you’ll have access to the current Icon and his or her bio and resources, along with all the preceding Icons.
