LGBTQ+ history month is celebrated every February across the UK, and was founded in 2004 by the co-chairs of education charity Schools OUT, Paul Patrick and Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders.
The month sparks feelings of pride and allyship from those who celebrate, but people who aren't in the community might write off as unnecessary if they lack understanding around its significance.
Ru Paul's Drag Race UK season four runner-up Cheddar Gorgeous wants to change this narrative, as they tell The Mirror why having a dedicated month to celebrate queer history will remain vital for as long as people 'moan about it'.
