Established in 1994, LGBT History Month encompasses National Coming Out Day on October 11, and Spirit Day on October 15, a day to wear purple to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying.

Throughout October, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will host a number of LGBT History Month virtual events including workshops, discussions, and the annual Drag Show. for the full schedule of events.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø is proud to be one of the most culturally diverse institutions in the nation, but we recognize that diversity is not limited to race, culture or national origin. Diversity also refers to the many ways that we self-identify. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and equitable environment for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, faculty, staff and our entire community, and that includes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Our LGBT+ Resource Center provides support and resources for LGBT+ 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and members of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø community seeking to understand their experiences. For more information, visit .
