This year, McGill will celebrate its 3rd Queer History Month, organized by the Office of the Provost and Vice Principal (Academic), with the collaboration of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF), The McGill JBSCE Subcommittee on Queer People, the Office for Sexual Violence Response, Support, and Education (OSVRSE), the Faculty of Medicine, the School of Social Work, BSN, Queer McGill, the Queer Grad Club, the Union for Gender Empowerment and many other McGill and community partners (DAWN Canada, Simone de Beauvoir Institute etc.).

Due to COVID-19, all our events will be online on Zoom, but we are working hard to make our events as accessible as possible. We will provide live captioning (in English) for this event.

The goal of Queer History Month is to celebrate and highlight the history and achievements of 2SLGBTQA+ communities at McGill University and more broadly in Montréal, Québec and Canada. Through a series of screenings, panels, workshops and community events, Queer History Month aims at raising awareness, advancing education and increasing the visibility of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities by recognizing their history and contributions, building bridges and bringing together McGill students, staff, faculty, alumni and Montréal community members. 
 
LGBTQ+ History Month started in 1994 in Missouri, to highlight and teach LGBTQ+ History, and while it is celebrated broadly in the United States and the United Kingdom, it was the first of its kind here in a Canadian university.
