The LGBT Community is roughly defined as a group of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and many more. Organizations and subcultures for this community are united by the act of common culture and social movements. The idea of this community is to bring to light the diversity of sexuality and gender-defined cultures. This community goes as far back as 1924 where activists began to use the initial LGBT in the United States, but it wasn’t until 1990 during the movement where people of the community finally started gaining respect.

There have been many movements for the LGBT community.
