2. After 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

3. LGBT Flag
• 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 This is a documentary that talks about the
used in 1950s, this term had a negative struggle that Nepal people have to go
connotations, and tended to be through because they choose to be LGBT
replaced by homophile. Then in the Nepal's Third Gender
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.

4. • This is a page on Facebook a
social network that shows
events, meeting, photos and
updates on what happens
throughout every month.
• This page is specific for the
area of BARNET but they
have one for each borough of
London which shows us that
the LGBT Community is wide
spread-out.

5. When we were researching we found
that some university support the LGBT
community, and here are some of them :

6. After learning the term “LGBT” we got curious to know if people knew
what does this term stands for. Therefore we went to the roads of
London to ask people….
Do you know what LGBT stands for? We interviewed some people, and here
is a short videos to show that most of
Questionnaire Results them didn’t know what LGBT stands for:
15%
Yes
85% No
It’s also interesting to know that nearly all of out
target audience don’t know about LGBT so our
documentary will be very informative to them.

7. This table shows very well when the United Kingdom accepted
LGBT. However its important to state that not longer ago (2005)
homosexuals were not recognised, and they count have
relationships.

8. Here is a research of some countries that accept LGBT. However some countries didn’t
want to support and accept marriages and relationships, but now it’s a human right to
be free to practise your sexuality.

9. - 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.
