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?

The origins of rap music

Origins of « Rap » music

« Rap » is a music type from the “Hip Hop culture” this is “street art”. It was invented in the ‘70s with “the scratching”, “the beatboxing” … 

The first rapper was DJ Kool Herc who was doing some parties in the street of New York named “Block Parties”. 

At the beginning rap was like funk and jazz and the first rap hit was “rapper’s delight” by “sugarhill gang”. 

We can say that the founders of the “Rap” were DJ Kool Herc, “The Sugarhill Gang”, “Afrika Bambaataa” and “Grandmaster Flash” with his famous hit “The message”. 

They all talk about street, drugs, gang… Except Afrika Bambaataa who was rapping to help younger people to develop their creativity. 

Every single rapper had his own themes like politics (Public Enemy) or racism (Run DMC). Rap music is often criticized for the violence of  its lyrics, some people saying that this is not culture but this music type is one of the most listened around the world at the moment and some texts deal with life before rap music, poverty, street art and how they came out of all those problems. 

“Rap” music is a real story.

 A Spooky Asteroid for Halloween 

This year we have an extra spooky surprise for Halloween !

The NASA has just announced that an asteroid measuring between 320-640 metres will be shooting towards Earth on October 31st, travelling at 78,000 miles per hour !

It's CRAZY !!! :) Fortunately, the asteroid will not hit the Earth, but it will come very close : within 1.3 times the distance of the moon.

In fact, this will be the closest encounter since 2006.

The asteriod is nicknamed 'Spooky' in honour of Halloween !
