This October, as we highlight and honor the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender, 2 spirit, non-binary, and pansexual people who brought us here, we have the opportunity to live their legacies. Their stories are available to us in an unprecedented way future generations didn’t have access to, and they continue to inspire our actions today! LGBT History Month highlights a different figure each day.
