Press Release: Department of Health Endorses the Month and suggests ideas

LGBT History Month explains why equality is good for you with the support of the Department of Health, which runs the NHS, in a new addition to its expanding LGBT History Month website.

In a number of informative pages we explain why safe spaces are essential to our health and wellbeing; provide 23 exciting ideas for running your own LGBT health event in 2009 and beyond; provide a list of resources relevant or specific to the LGBT community; and include a list of relevant links.

LGBT History Month spokesperson Tony Fenwick said, “This is a very exciting addition and it makes all our work worthwhile when a Government department supports us and feels our work is important. We are proud to have the Department of Health on board.

“We hope that everyone who visits our site reads these pages and uses them when planning events for LGBT History Month 2009. We need to start planning now to make it bigger and better than ever.
