Stonewall is synonymous with queer history. In Australia, the Mardi Gras protest was a seminal point in our history. UK World War Two code-breaker Alan Turing became an LGBT icon after his death. AIDS and its impacts cannot be forgotten. With so many people keeping their sexuality in the past, queer history is only now beginning to be explored, captured and shared.

History is written by those who follow but it can have a powerful message about our future. One person that knows this better than most is the Founder of LGBTQ+ History Month USA – Rodney Wilson. Rodney has recently co-Founded the International Committee on LGBTQ+ History Months to grow and share our knowledge of our queer past.
