LGBTQ+ History Month is a month-long celebration of the diverse history of the LGBTQ+ movement and provides the opportunity to learn and reflect on the sacrifices made by the community.

At Barclays, we support LGBTQ+ History month by supporting colleagues, challenging homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and educating others on the importance of inclusion, equality, diversity, and respect. Whether it is being the first bank to promote a transgender woman to the position of branch manager, or the first bank to feature LGBTQ+ couples in our advertising, Barclays has a strong history of championing LGBTQ+ diversity.

We aim to champion equality, understanding and respect for colleagues, customers and clients across sexuality and gender identity. We want every one of our colleagues to feel comfortable being themselves at work and encourage a range of activities and initiatives that help people connect. Our LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG), Spectrum, is one of our longest-standing networks.
