- Octavia Hill
- Ivor Cummings

Cllr Ruba Sivagnanam, cabinet member for equalities, said: "The Vale of Glamorgan Council’s participation in LGBT+ History Month is paramount in affirming our commitment to understanding, respecting, and celebrating diversity."
“This month serves as an opportunity to shed light on the historical struggles, achievements, and contributions of the LGBT+ community.”
