LGBT Rights

Our students in 1ere have worked on LGBT rights... Here are some of their pieces of work ;-)
Enjoy !! 



The LGBT is a community created to fight against homophobia and discriminations. LGBT means
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. Today, we add a + at the end of the acronym to include all the sexual identities.

In France, the movement started in 1954 thanks to André Baudry with the creation of the
magazine “Arcadie” and in the USA in 1969.
It’s thanks to all these movements, demonstrations, and even riots that a lot of associations with different names have been able to see the light of day!

Finally, the acronym LGBT was adopted in 1980.

Created a long time ago, this community is representing by a rainbow flag invented by Gilbert Baker.



On this flag, each colour has a meaning :



This flag also called “pride flag” had before eight colours but because of the lack of availability of the colours pink and turquoise during the printing of the flag, they were removed.


What about LGBT Rights in Europe?
A few documents below !




Thanks to Cloe and Aurelia !
