The purpose of this presentations is to understand well what is term LGBT

Research towards a new titleAfter meeting up with our teacher we have learnt about LBGT.- We had to research on the “new” term “LGBT community “- It helped us to understand that they would find offensive to be called homosexuals

LGBT - refers to "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" people

• Before the sexual revolution of the 1960s, they didn’t know how to call the non-heterosexuality; so in that

time the closest term they could find was, "third gender“

• The term “homosexual” were first used in 1950s, this term had a negative

connotations, and tended to be replaced by homophile. Then in the

1970s the term gay and lesbian became more used and accepted.

• People started to use the term LGBT in 1988 in United of States, but not until the 1990s did it become common to speak of gay, lesbian, bisexual and

transgender people with equal respect within the movement.

London to ask people….

be free to practise your sexuality.

What have we learned:- Now we know what LGBT stands for- We realised that not everyone know about the LGBT community - We also know countries that accept marriages, relationships etc- We didn’t know that not longer ago LGBT wasn’t accepted

• And now everything that we learned will help us to develop ideas for our documentary.
