October is LGBT History Month. The month of observance was first organized in 1994 by high school teacher Rodney Wilson to coincide with National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11) and was meant to highlight the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights movement. In 2006, the Equality Forum began promoting the annual commemoration by featuring a different LGBT icon each day. “This is the 7th anniversary of LGBT History Month.
