Generations of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community are quickly forgotten. Therefore, I wanted to create awareness and understanding for this problem, and as an additional benefit, unite all generations of this minority with each other. To accomplish this I made an informative, two-minute video in which the stories of four LGBT-characters are visualised by drawings of Valerie Grevelt. The ages of these main characters ranges from the age of sixteen until approximately eighty years. The video can be used in educational and informative settings and is suitable for everyone (gay or straight, male or female) between the ages of twelve until infinity.

Homosexuality is considered to be a normal thing in the Netherlands but in my opinion and in my own experience it is not normal enough. My video will contribute to a better understanding of the feelings and incidents this minority experiences in everyday situations. After all, homosexuality appears in every generation.
