Queer History Month
Beginning in 2018, each October, the LGBTQ+ Center recognizes and celebrates Queer History Month (QHM). For us, QHM reflects upon and learns from the past while also uplifting the idea that we are constantly creating our own histories as individuals, collectives, and communities. Plus, June, which is celebrated as Pride month, is a tough time to come together in community since it is during the summer!
During Queer History Month, we invite partners from across campus and the community to develop and present their own unique programs and opportunities that engage with LGBTQ+ identities, narratives, communities, and histories and craft a calendar to advertise the numerous offerings available throughout the month.
Call for Programs for 2025
The LGBTQ+ Center is currently accepting programs for this year’s Queer History Month at WFU. We will be recognizing and celebrating Queer History Month 2025 during October with the theme “Reflections: Moving Forward While Looking Back,” and invite you to submit a program for inclusion on the calendar.
This theme aims to honor LGBTQ+ history while demonstrating how its lessons can guide the path forward for our entire community. Programs will be open to students, staff, and faculty.
Organizations and departments can submit programs to be included on the 2025 Queer History Month calendar using this form. Please include as much detail as possible in the submission for your program or initiative. The submission period will be open through Wednesday, Sept. 24.
We look forward to your submission, and please don’t hesitate to reach out to lgbtq@wfu.edu with any questions!
