Grace, an older trans woman with short light hair, glasses and earrings smiling gently.
Imogen, a younger transe woman standing by a brick wall wearing a white top and a trans pride flag draped over her shoulders, smiling at the camera.
IT'S #TransDayOfVisibility - a day to show support for our #trans and #nonbinary siblings.
In #LGBTHistoryMonth 2022 we heard how Grace found the courage to come out as trans in later life after seeing a #visiblytrans woman at #Pride: bit.ly/FromTerrorToJoy

A fantastic example of youth voice in action.

An illustrated image in a cozy, book-filled room, showing a diverse group of six people of varied ages and ethnicities sitting and sharing tea around a circular wooden table. The group includes an older man with a grey beard and glasses, another elder man with glasses, a woman with braided hair who is seated in a wheelchair, a friend placing a supportive hand on the wheelchair user's shoulder, a young man taking notes in a spiral notepad, and another woman listening. The text content at the top of the image reads: "“Shame dies when stories are told in safe places.” - Ann Voskamp". In the centre of the table is the Open Table logo, a glowing, multi-colored circular design of interconnected stylized human figures. Rainbow-coloured light streams through the room, creating a rainbow spectrum pattern on the walls and table from a window showing a sunset. The background bookshelf holds numerous colourful books, some with titles like 'OUR HISTORY'.
'SHAME DIES when stories are told in safe places.' - Ann Voskamp
#LGBThistorymonth has ended, but the need for us to share our stories continues.
Here are just a few of the stories of Open Table community members: opentable.lgbt/personal-stories

28. Weekend (2011)
I began with Andrew Haigh, he appeared in the middle and serendipitously, I end with him.
This is one of those understated, intimate, relatable movies you forget how good it is until you're reminded of it

Day 28: Frida Kahlo 🎨
A legendary artist whose work rawly explored identity, pain, and gender. While often associated with Diego Rivera, her passionate affairs with women were pivotal to her life and art. An unapologetic icon of intersectional queer brilliance and resilience. #LGBTHistoryMonth
Bodily autonomy for all.
LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive rights are interlinked. Everyone deserves the right to make their own choices about their own bodies 💪
Happy #LGBTHistoryMonth 💖
In 1979, Nottingham’s Lesbian Line launched as lifeline for LGBT+ people. It ran for 25 years proving the power of community.
We will be celebrating by highlighting some historic moments from our community in Nottingham 🌈

When Bishop Gene Robinson came to our festival he made a lasting impression on Dave, from our OUT team. “Hearing how the first openly gay bishop kept his cool and his faith in the midst of the storm of criticism and hostility from some parts of the church was eye-opening" #LGBTHistoryMonth
Day 27: Bea Arthur 🎭
A legendary ally and LGBTQ+ champion. Famous for The Golden Girls, she was a tireless advocate for queer youth. In her will, she left $300k to aliforneycenter, helping open the Bea Arthur Residence for homeless LGBTQ+ youth. A true icon on and off screen. ❤️ #LGBTHistoryMonth

'LOST VICTORIAN VOICES' in black text, surrounded by a repeating pattern of the symbol of Buckinghamshire in red, a swan a halved shield.
Six panels from the graphic novel, cropped. They depict a man describing the sentence of a sixteen year old, illustrating his transportation to Tasmania.
As #LGBTHistoryMonth draws to a close, we thought we'd share the stunning graphic novel that was created as part of our Lost Victorian Voices project last year by the artist Paul Sammut.

A group of Network Rail employees marching in a parade, carrying a large banner that reads "Network Rail and Proud" in front of the Trafalgar Theatre and near Trafalgar Square. They are dressed in colourful attire, celebrating PRIDE London.

Day 26: Bayard Rustin✊🏾
The brilliant strategist behind the 1963 March on Washington. A gay Black man who advised MLK Jr., Rustin lived at the intersection of civil rights and LGBTQ+ equality. He proved that no one is free until we are all free. A visionary of non-violent protest.🏳️🌈 #LGBTHistoryMonth

26. Uncle Frank (2020)
Gorgeous movie by Alan Ball set in 1973 about love, acceptance, addiction, complicated families and the devastating impact of homophobia.
Margo Martindale & Peter Macdissi are especially great in this.

💜 Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera ist eine ugandische LGBTQ+-Aktivistin und eine der bekanntesten Stimmen für queere Rechte in Uganda. Sie setzt sich seit vielen Jahren mutig für die Sichtbarkeit und Sicherheit von LGBTQ+-Menschen ein – trotz massiver Anfeindungen und Bedrohungen. Für ihr Engagement wurde sie international ausgezeichnet und gilt als wichtige Kämpferin für Menschenrechte in Ostafrika. 💜 Bayard Rustin war ein US-Bürgerrechtsaktivist und enger Berater von Martin Luther King Jr.. Er organisierte maßgeblich den Marsch auf Washington 1963, wurde jedoch lange wegen seiner Homosexualität in den Hintergrund gedrängt.
... Und das sind längst nicht alle! Neben den genannten gibt es noch viele weitere inspirierende queere BIPoC, die Geschichte geschrieben haben – oft viel zu wenig sichtbar. Einige von ihnen findet ihr im Buch Queer Heroes, das spannende Einblicke in queere Lebensgeschichten bietet. Das Buch findet ihr bei uns in der Queeren Bibliothek!

2/2 Da der Februar dem Ende zugeht – und damit auch der LGBT+ History Month und der Black History Month – stellen wir die Errungenschaften und Geschichten einiger inspirierender queerer BIPoC noch einmal in den Mittelpunkt 💜
#BlackHistoryMonth #lgbthistorymonth #VielfaltinThüringen
Da der Februar dem Ende zugeht – und damit auch in einigen Ländern der LGBT+ History Month und der Black History Month – möchten wir die Errungenschaften und Geschichten inspirierender queerer BIPoC noch einmal in den Mittelpunkt stellen.
Der Black History Month ist ein Gedenk- und Aktionsmonat, der die Geschichte, Kultur und den Widerstand von BIPoC* (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) sichtbar macht, besonders dort, wo diese lange übergangen oder marginalisiert wurden. In vielen Ländern wird im Februar auch der LGBT+ History Month gefeiert, der auf die Geschichte von queeren Menschen und der queeren Menschenrechtsbewegung aufmerksam macht. Queere und BIPoC Geschichte sind eng miteinander verbunden.
💜 Miss Major war eine schwarze trans* Aktivistin und Autorin, welche an den Stonewall Riots beteiligt war. Zuletzt entwickelte und leitete sie das Tilifi (“Telling It Like It Fuckin' Is”), einen Rückzugsort und Anlaufstelle für trans* und gender nonconforming Menschen. 💜 Marsha P. Johnson, afroamerikanische Transfrau und Aktivistin, stand beim Stonewall-Aufstand an vorderster Front. Sie setzte sich ihr Leben lang für trans*, queere und marginalisierte Menschen ein und wurde so zu einer Ikone der LGBTQIA+-Bewegung.
💜 James Baldwin war ein bedeutender Autor und Bürgerrechtsaktivist. In seinen Werken verband er persönliche Erfahrungen mit scharfer Gesellschaftskritik und schrieb offen über Rassismus, Identität und Sexualität. Seine Texte sind bis heute aktuell. 💜 Schwarz, Lesbe, Mutter, Kriegerin, Lyrikerin. So beschrieb Audre Lorde sich selbst. In ihren Gedichten und Essays schrieb sie über Rassismus, Sexismus und Homophobie – und darüber, wie diese Diskriminierungsformen zusammenwirken. Ihre Botschaft: Unterschiede sind keine Schwäche, sondern eine Stärke.

A graphic with speech bubbles which say, "I learned a lot about the situation I was in and the way I was dealing with it." "It was nice to have an opportunity to talk about my experiences and to listen to the experiences of others." "Finally I was opening myself up to someone and I felt comfortable being surrounded by people with similar experiences." and "I’m just thankful there is an LGBTQ+ program where I could freely speak and be listened to. An LGBTQ+ program is much needed. Thank you!" There are logos for Calan DVS, the Myriad programme, Respect and LGBT+ History Month.
February is #LGBTHistoryMonth
Many Respect members offer specialist provision for different groups, including LGBT+ communities. One of these is Calan DVS, Respect-accredited for their work supporting male victims, who deliver the Myriad programme. This is what some participants shared 👇 (1/3)
