During February, Carmarthenshire County Council will be noting LGBT+ History Month to positively acknowledge the diversity within our local communities.
In support of the nationally-recognised LGBT+ History Month, the LGBT+ rainbow flag will be raised at the council’s main buildings in Ammanford, Carmarthen and Llanelli during the first weekend of February.
LGBT+ History Month provides the opportunity to highlight and celebrate the lives of LGBT+ people and their allies, both past and present, within our communities and further afield.
It is also important to recognise our role as a key local employer, in supporting our staff within the workplace.
Cllr Cefin Campbell, Executive Board Member for Equalities, said: “It is important that as an organisation we champion diversity in our workforce and throughout our communities, and LGBT+ History Month is the perfect opportunity to do so.”
The post LGBT+ History Month first appeared on West Wales Chronicle : News for Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Swansea and Beyond.
