Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Were off! Leeds is lighting up its civic city centre buildings in Rainbow colours this evening to celebrate the beginning of LGBT History Month UK. Keep your eyes peeled and see how many establishments have put up the rainbow flag to celebrate the 14th LGBT History Month across the nation. Throughout February this year our theme is Geography: Mapping the World. We will be commemorating two rather sombre events; the 30th anniversary of the passing of Section 28, which prohibited local authorities from disseminating materials that promoted homosexuality in schools; and the fortieth anniversary of the murder by shooting of Harvey Milk, the USAs first out-gay elected councillor. On a happier note, the rainbow flag was launched upon an unsuspecting public in 1978, although sadly its creator Gilbert Baker passed away last year. And 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Sarah Waters classic Tipping the Velvet
