LGBT+ Icons
As part of our 2021 LGBT+ History Month social media campaign, we asked our trustees and community partners to nominate members of our community through history who they felt were true LGBT+ icons. The nominations spanned over a hundred years of social history, politics, art and entertainment. The thirty-six icons are displayed below, and you can read more about them by clicking on the thumbnails.
