Forth Concept - Change- LGBT

              

                                                                  CHANGE

My Theme for the CHANGE concept is LBGT. I picked this because I've known people who have hide their sexuality for a long time and I feel there are many people still hiding away due to family friends and religion.

 I found this research and wanted to forward to my blog.

According to pew research centres social & demographic trends project 2017 say - An overwhelming share of America’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults (92%) say society has become more accepting of them in the past decade and an equal number expect it to grow even more accepting in the decade ahead. They attribute the changes to a variety of factors, from people knowing and interacting with someone who is LGBT, to advocacy on their behalf by high-profile public figures, to LGBT adults raising families.¹  

  (Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends Project, 2017)

 Once again pew research centre social & demographic trends projects 2017 said -   At the same time, however, a new nationally representative survey of 1,197 LGBT adults offers testimony to the many ways they feel they have been stigmatized by society. About four-in-ten (39%) say that at some point in their lives they were rejected by a family member or close friend because of their sexual orientation or gender identity; 30% say they have been physically attacked or threatened; 29% say they have been made to feel unwelcome in a place of worship; and 21% say they have been treated unfairly by an employer. About six-in-ten (58%) say they’ve been the target of slurs or jokes.

 (Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends Project, 2017)

Also, just 56% say they have told their mother about their sexual orientation or gender identity, and 39% have told their father. Most who did tell a parent say that it was difficult, but relatively few say that it damaged their relationship.

The survey finds that 12 is the median age at which lesbian, gay and bisexual adults first felt they might be something other than heterosexual or straight. For those who say they now know for sure that they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, that realization came at a median age of 17.

Among those who have shared this information with a family member or close friend, 20 is the median age at which they first did so.

Gay men report having reached all of these coming out milestones somewhat earlier than do lesbians and bisexuals.

The survey was conducted April 11-29, 2013, and administered online, a survey mode that research indicates tends to produce more honest answers on a range of sensitive topics than do other less anonymous modes of survey-taking. For more details, see Chapter 1 and Appendix 1.

The survey finds that the LGBT population is distinctive in many ways beyond sexual orientation. Compared with the general public, Pew Research LGBT survey respondents are more liberal, more Democratic, less religious, less happy with their lives, and more satisfied with the general direction of the country. On average, they are younger than the general public. Their family incomes are lower, which may be related to their relative youth and the smaller size of their households. They are also more likely to perceive discrimination not just against themselves but also against other groups with a legacy of discrimination.(Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends Project, 2017)

The above charts and information isn't my work but I have ref them.

I thought I would do some history on LBGT and this is what I've found at Manchester collage

I've found some research which I like to bring up about marriage which I'm so happy this was sorted out and legal.

 Location

Location : Underpass

I choose the underpass because the reality of the gay community was hidden unlawful and often seen as seedy and most certainly something to be ashamed of , today there is more acceptance in our world. However there are many religions , public services , and homophobia's who will never accept the LBG community. Unfortunately for some being true to themselves isn't a option and they will continue to hide their preferred sexually ad hide in the shadows.

Why I Used The Flag

The rainbow flag 🏳️‍🌈

The rainbow flag was popularized as a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride and diversity by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978. ... It is most commonly flown with the red stripe on top, as the colours appear in a natural rainbow. The colours were determined to symbolize: life (red), healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), harmony (blue), and spirit (purple/violet)

The flag was wrapped around Skyler , To represent the protection and acceptance that she feels within the LGBT community. Skyler is beginning her transgender journey and becoming the woman she truly is. She no longer hides in the shadows but is embracing the changes and is living a life she could never have thought possible, her hope is that one day she will be accepted in the wider community for simple being herself.

EVALUATION

 

Today went so well, I really couldn't be any  happier with my work and the photoshoot. I'm in love with my final image its just how I wanted to show the whole coming out to the world how the gay community protect their own and how Skyler become her true self.

There really isn't anything I would change at all.
