hello!
01
welcome to LGBT History Month 2013
LGBT History Month Scotland takes place across the country
every February. It is an opportunity to celebrate LGBT (lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender) life and culture and to recognise the
achievements of LGBT people and communities. LGBT History
Month is organised by LGBT Youth Scotland, and every year we
work in partnership with groups and organisations to programme
a range of arts, culture and education events.
LGBT History Month is for everyone: community
groups, organisations, individuals, activists,
professionals, service providers, LGBT and
non-LGBT people alike.
We’re now in our 8th year and in that time we have
gone from strength to strength. We’re grateful
to all our long-time supporters and partners
and we’re looking forward to another month of
fabulous events. If you’re discovering us for the
first time in 2013 we hope you’ll find something to
interest you here. But if not, why not get in touch
to find out how to organise your own event?
See lgbthistory.org.uk or contact Amy at
[email protected]/0141 552 7425.
Through the support of Creative Scotland, we
have been able to award 12 grants of up to
£1,000 to enable organisations of all sizes – from
community based groups to national organisations
– to host a total of 16 artistic and cultural events
during February 2013. We’re delighted to be able
to include these events in this programme. Look
out for the History Month logo next to the event
listing to spot our grant winners.
Keep an eye on lgbthistory.org.uk for up to date
info on our full programme of events. Happy
LGBT History Month from all the team!

3-5 minute short videos that reflect their experiences and histories
in Scotland.

She has exhibited at Tate Modern, GoMA, mac Birmingham and

b)other LGBTI Deaf and Disabled artists, and one-half of queer
performance duo, Zorras. www.blissfultimes.ca
Lucy Holmes-Elliott will produce a series of 12 – 15 illustrations
and 30 photos that will form an exploration and celebration
of queer Scottish Identity. The illustrations, influenced by
photographer Zoe Strauss, are minimalist, stripped back
simple black lines on white to distil the essence of the
person being shown.

She co-founded magazine and club night “Lock Up Your
