Tan’s Talks: LGBT+ History Month 2025

How is your company spotlighting LGBT+ History Month in February? 2025 marks this month’s 20th year! Do you have speakers lined up to deliver talks to your employees yet? If not, I can help!

2025’s LGBT+ History Month theme is Activism and Social Change, which will celebrate LGBT+ people who have been activists and helped shape and create social change, advancing society for everyone.

Talks and consultancy work for LGBT+ History Month

So how can I assist your organisation in steering towards a more understanding, supportive and inclusive workplace for LGBTQ employees?

Talks I can give for LGBT+ History Month and beyond, some of which I have done at Bibby Financial Services, Atlanta Group and Meliã Hotels, include:

  • A brief history of LGBT+ history in the UK
  • 5 ways to support and include LGBTQ colleagues (being an LGBTQ ally)
  • LGBTQ-focused active bystander training
  • LGBTQ intersectionality (can be with a focus on an ESEA – East and Southeast Asian – perspective)
  • Destigmatising LGBTQ health and breaking down barriers for them
  • Anti-queerphobia (umbrella term for homophobia, biphobia and transphobia) training in medical and healthcare (or any industry/sector)

Consultancies can include:

  • Help with LGBTQ-friendly and inclusive policies
  • Creating an LGBTQ glossary of terms and resources
  • How to support and work with LGBTQ staff networks
  • Ensuring your EAP is LGBTQ friendly and inclusive
  • Using LGBTQ-inclusive language (particularly in marketing)
  • Embedding a speak-up culture that empowers LGBTQ employees

Pricing and contact

Each talk lasts around an hour and can be delivered in-person if in or near Greater Manchester or Greater London, or virtual if hybrid or remotely. You can view other LGBTQ-related talks available here. For consultancy services and more information or to make a booking, contact me below.
