Happy LGBTQ+ History Month 2025!
LGBTQ+ History Month was first celebrated in 1994 after Missouri Public School Teacher, Rodney Wilson, proposed the idea. The rationale was to honor National Coming Out Day (October 11th), first celebrated in 1988, and the 1979 March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. Now, the Month is used to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ people across the globe.
This year, we have many events and resource opportunities throughout the Month. Follow us on Instagram @uconnrainbowctr and check out our events calendar on LiveWhale for up-to-date offerings.
Also, be on the watch for a special announcement about the 4th Annual Rainbow Center Symposium, taking place on November 5th.
