LGBT By Darren Dineen / 15th February 2015 Share Tweet Pin Share There is help out there for the LGBT, and it needs to been showing in the schools of today! www.lgbt.ie The LGBT Helpline is a non-judgmental and confidential service providing listening, support and information to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, their family and friends, and to those who are questioning if they might be LGBT. The National LGBT Helpline service is provided by a network of trained volunteers from a number of local LGBT helplines. Don’t hide who you are from other’s or let other’s tell you who you should be, we are loved for who we are and not what we do in life, sure you could be the worlds best humanitarian but still go home to an empty house and what satisfaction can one get from doing something great unless you can share it with a loved one. So be who you want to be love who you want to love and get on with life because when you break down the barriers life is what you make of it. Interesting Wiki on the Subject of LGBT Helpline I have included this info below because I think this is a great resource for further reading. I will link directly to the Wiki page at the end of the article. LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which itself started replacing the term gay when in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s,[1] as many felt the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.[2] The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority of sexuality and gender identity-based community centers and media in the United States and some other English-speaking countries.[3][4] It is also used in some other countries in whose languages the initialism is meaningful, such as France and Argentina. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT
