LGBT History Month is held annually in February as a showcase of the histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their associated lives and struggles. Last February saw nearly 200 events accross Scotland ranging from exhibitions to story-telling events, to film screenings, to LGBT nights in pubs and clubs.

Message from Elaine Chalmers, Head of Childline Scotland "LGBT History Month is a great way of celebrating the lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. The ChildLine helpline, 0800 1111, is here for any child or young person who wants to talk about anything that affects them. We know from the calls that we receive that many young people still feel worried about or isolated by their sexuality and we are working with a number of partners to address the issues that young people face, such as homophobic bullying. ChildLine fully supports initiatives, such as LGBT History Month, which highlight the full part that LGBT people play in Scotland's past, present and future."
