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 2026
The LGBTQ+ Center is now accepting program proposals for Queer History Month! Queer History Month programs and events will occur throughout October, beginning with our annual kickoff on September 30th on Manchester Stage from 2:00-4:00 PM.
