LGBTWhat?

Love reaches us, fills us, makes us feel a special warmth in our hearts, like an imaginary embrace, strong, tight, warm and comforting. Love is diverse: it does not discriminate, love is so many things! With it we can laugh and cry too, because love is wide, vast and infinite in its possibilities. Love is something we experience in different ways.

An invitation to open one’s eyes, mind and heart. The eyes to see diversity, the mind to understand it and the heart to embrace it in its humanity. It is a journey through the history of sexual and gender diversity with the main milestones of the LGBTQIA+ collective. Here are their struggles, inequalities, challenges overcome and resounding triumphs. It is a work that seeks to recognise and value the strength of those who have paved the way towards a more inclusive world.
