LGBT Presentation
Transcript: 1. We posted on our group social media daily trying to reach groups that had a common goal with us. We found out that when we did reach out to these groups, our viewership went up. 2. When we passed out notecards with our social media platforms and our website links, our viewership was expected to go up, but didn't. 3. When we posted on our personal social medias (Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr), asking others to follow our group accounts/check our website, viewership went up exceptionally. Gay Why does this matter? Lesbian The Issue: - Seeing beyond society's status quo and coming together as one with a common goal. - There are no limitations when it comes to art and music. Art is an international language for social protest. One commonality that we all have is music. Bisexual Impact: suicideinlgbtcommunities.weebly.com Our website: We plan to make more advances with our website and our social media platforms. By doing this we plan to advance our knowledge by doing: Going to lgbt parades/rallies Educate parents about the issue by holding information nights/seminars Start a support group for those who have attempted suicide or for people who have lost someone because of suicide - We believe that no one should be put down for who they want to love or become. - "Its such a shame that people aren't accepted for who they are. Love is a human experience - not a political statement. You don't have to be gay to be a supporter, you just have to be human. If anybody can find someone to love them in this world, then I fully support that in any shape or form," (Selena Carrasco). Why we care? Tweets: In the article Leelah's mother Carla stated, "We don't support that, religiously," ... What Leelah Alcorn then wrote in her suicide note was, "My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say “that’s fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please."

It describes ones sexual orientation or how they identify themselves. Suicide in LGBT Communities Our Social Media Platforms: Plans For the future: Videos Thousands of teens are committing suicide because they're not accepted for their sexual orientation. They'd rather be dead, than face the people who make them feel horrible about themselves. Sources "Kids React to Gay Marriage." YouTube. YouTube. Web. 4 Feb. 2015. " Love Is Love." Youtube. Youtube. Web. 4 Feb. 2015 Final Thoughts What is LGBT? Pictures Suicide in LGBT is something major in the teenage media. Teens get judged because of their sexual orientation. Because they are not heterosexual, they get bullied and they can't take it anymore and they have no way to debrief. With no way out they result in self-harming or even worse suicide.
