What is LGBT community? LGBT for some people who know them, these community  is for a group of lesbian, gays, bisexual and transgender people. These people are known in celebrating their pride, diversity, individuality and their sexuality. They call these event as  pride parade or gay parade.  They also refer these term as expressing their positive attitudes towards the violence and discrimination to them. They  held during the LGBT Pride Month of different country. There are several groups like  gay villages, LGBT rights organizations, LGBT employee groups at companies, LGBT student groups in schools and universities and LGBT-affirming religious groups that is consider part of their community. As i browse in the net, i found an article titled " Examiner " with an article " Introduction to LGBT Culture"  by Leah Adams-Schoen. It talks about the culture of LGBT and how it differ to the traditional culture of every country.  

According to the article, the LGBT community has is own culture that is depending on our variables such as location, age, and ethnic makeup. It was also stated in the article that LGBT culture is a response to the heterosexual and gender conforming culture which many of people in the society are againts for. For example in describing a "tomboy", when we describe them we say that they are boy, and if someone is "gay" we call them gay. The article also tell about the movie " But I am a Cheerleader". The movie was all about the girl named Megan, who is apparently a heterosexual high school cheerleader. When her parent discover her lesbianism, they sent megan to straight camp a therapy camp to cure lesbianism. And when megan realizes that she is a lesbian, despite of the therapy, she would rather embrace her sexual orientation. Even if i don't watch this movie, i think it is a great movie that everyone should watch when they want to know about these culture. The article also stated that in the struggle for their human rights, celebrating their unique and vibrant culture is crucial. They all encompass to the ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds.knowing their culture is not only helping them to diverse the wound expression that we do, but to give peace and love to every individual including these people that is need to have peaceful world.
