As we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, we honour the many brave individuals who have fought for equality and justice for the LGBTQ+ community. From Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who were at the forefront of the Stonewall riots, to Chris Smith, who became the first openly gay MP in Britain, to modern-day activists like Lisa Power MBE and Phyll Opoku-Gyimah (Lady Phyll), who are breaking barriers and changing hearts and minds, we owe so much to these trailblazers.
Their struggles, their triumphs, and their sacrifices have paved the way for progress, but we know there is still so much work to be done. We must continue to fight against discrimination, hate, and ignorance, and strive for a world where everyone is free to love and be themselves without fear or shame. Therefore, Cardiff Business School Society take a zero-tolerance stance against any form of discrimination/discriminatory behaviour.
This month, let's take the time to learn about LGBTQ+ history, to celebrate diversity, and to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ community. Together, we can create a world that is more just, more compassionate, and more beautiful for all.
Happy LGBTQ+ History Month!
