LGBT History Month and why it’s important

So we have just come to the end of LGBT History Month and being lazy I haven’t written a blog this month. So do I teach a history lesson? That would be boring right? My history teacher in school was duller than watching cricket. I mean why do we have an LGBT History Month in the first place? It’s it just to give old drag performers something to write about before they put us out to pasture? Or is it important?
