LGBTQ Community Calendar
The LGBTQ+ community observes, celebrates, and honors various days and months. While the following list focuses on days, weeks, and months specific to the LGBTQ+ community, it also observes and celebrates dates not exclusively related to it—such as Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Women’s History Month, and Indigenous Peoples' Day. Media coverage of these and other dates unrelated to the LGBTQ+ community should include LGBTQ+ individuals and the intersections between the LGBTQ+ community and the topic at hand.
