This is our history and as the initiators of LGBT History Month we are mindful we make history too!
So we will record the event and make sure that this crucial history of how we have moved from obscurity as LGBT people in the classroom through section 28 to the place where thanks to legislation where we can be protected if we are out as teachers and pupils and the Equality act and the Public duty requires education to acknowledge us. We have played our part in the process and provide resources and support for the work The Classroom website and Educate and Celebrate are leaders in the field.
