LGBT+ History Month
February marks LGBT+ History Month, aiming to inform, educate and celebrate LGBT+ people past and present. We've gathered together a selection of portraits from the worlds of theatre, film, art, fashion, literature, politics and music, which, although by no means exhaustive, reflects the diversity of the LGBT+ community, and sheds light on the fluctuations in visibility, censure and acceptance experienced by gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans people through the centuries.
While this selection concentrates on famous faces, we also have an excellent selection of photographs and illustrations of this aspect of social history, not to mention thousands of film stills including La Cage aux Folles, Hairspray, My Beautiful Launderette and Torch Song Triology to name but a few.
