In the 1990’s the month of October was designated as GLBT month, to recognize and commemorate gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender/sexual community history in America. October was chosen because it was also when National Coming Out Day occurred and schools were in session. Teachers and community leaders felt this was a good month since GLBT history is not actively taught in the public schools as a part of American history.
Having a History month as such helps raise awareness and also continues the cause for full equality.
