The fifth annual LGBT History Month looks set to be the biggest ever with hundreds of events planned nationwide. History Month, which takes place throughout February, was started back in 2005 by the LGBT campaigning group Schools Out. It has grown to become one of the biggest events in the LGBT diary.

The calendar of events is aimed at promoting equality and combating prejudice within the LGBT community.

All is not well however in the Principality. A Conservative MP has accused North Wales police of 'tokenism' for marking LGBT History Month by flying the rainbow flag at their headquarters building. David Jones, MP for Clwyd West, I can't see any reason why any flag other than the Union Flag and the Red Dragon of Wales should fly outside our police headquarters.

"This is tokenism and posturing. People want to see their police force focus on fighting crime, not getting involved in political tokenism and gestures."
