Hi all, I'm about to conduct a study in college about homophobia and transphobia.
I'll be focusing on what things, and questions, people have had since coming out as LGBT. This can include taboo questions such as 'How do you have sex' or 'Why don't you just be [...]'.
The piece itself is aimed to highlight the issues LGBT people face in today's community in an artistic piece. The words, phrases and questions will be made into a college that will be used as a backdrop, where an individual will be stood center holding a sign with their personal 'quote'.
As I'm finding models locally (for convenience), I am asking you all to share, if willing, some things that have been said to you. The pieces will mainly be focusing on negativity, however there will also be a space for positive things, which will likely be used as a backdrop for the header/banner.
If you are uncomfortable sharing publicly, feel free to PM me on the site what you would like to contribute.
I would like to add that all submissions will be used completely anonymously, and only the quotes will be used, so your identity will remain totally private.
I would also like to discuss how you would like to be represented in media and campaigns against hate in modern society. If you have any thoughts, please share.
Thank you in advance, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
