Identities

MASQUERADE: DISCOVER YOUR OTHER.

 

Young people from GYRO have responded to the Keith Haring exhibition through interactive workshops.

 

The work presented in Tate Exchange explores the various ways that young LGBTQ+ people express themselves. The young people wanted to share that their LGBTQ+ identities are very important to them and that they do not exist in isolation from the rest of their identity.

 

Visitors to Tate Exchange will be encouraged to explore their own identities through a series of activities.

Interesting images, but I didn't know what LGBTQ+ stood for.

So "Google" provided the answer:

 

People often use LGBTQ+ to mean all of the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”:

Lesbian

Gay

Bisexual

Transgender

Transsexual

2/Two-Spirit

Queer

Questioning

Intersex

Asexual

Ally

+ Pansexual

+ Agender

+ Gender Queer

+ Bigender

+ Gender Variant

+ Pangender

 

LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user friendly --------------- your not joking there.

 

 

----------- And I thought we were all just people, turns out to be a whole lot more complicated.

 

I wonder why people want to be classified at all? What's wrong with just being you ?

 

Well I guess that these days everybody has a right to be whatever they want to be; but I can see it creating all sorts of problems that we as a society may not want to face.
