"LGBT History Month is
an opportunity to look back over the varied contributions that LGBT
people have made to the world and to truly embrace the cultural,
political and social change that such wonderful individuals have
contributed. It's also a chance to look back at the hardships and
challenges LGBT people worldwide have faced to get to where we are
today and to learn important lessons in order to get us where we
want to be in the future".

that. Please visit our website or contact us on 0116 222 9977

LGBT
History Month allows GLADD to acknowledge the contribution that
LGBT people have made to medicine and the health of the population.
The Gay and Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists has been
going for over ten years and we have been lucky to include members
who have made fundamental impacts to medicine and the health of
the populations.
In recent years we can also reflect back on the footprints in history
that GLADD has made like the document Dignity at Work which was
supported by the BMA, BDA, GMC and GDC and in 2006 our report on
support for healthcare professionals living with HIV.

journals, banners and adverts."

The Group was formed in September 2005 and is for employees of
Shropshire County Council or its local strategic partner employees,
who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
The group assisted the County Council to enter the Stonewall Diversity
Champions Programme and the County is ranked in Stonewall's top
100 gay friendly employers.
The group meets every three months in work time, at an "attitude
free" venue in Shrewsbury. The group puts time in to organising
events so that LGBT people who work for the County and who live
in the County can see that positive progress is being made.
Events have included a film festival in 2006 and events for
LGBT History month 2007 ( a talk, a film and an exhibition). It
also helped to organise a week of oral histories on Shropshire Radio.
