Some time ago I began to worry about the situation of the LGBTIQ+ collective. I was concerned about the lack of knowledge, prejudice and rejection that I was beginning to see in people not so far away.
So I decided to start a project. I decided to look for a way to create a safe place for people who needed it while at the same time I could offer my knowledge on the subject to try to put an end to all the misinformation that surrounded (and still surrounds the subject today).
All this was developed in lgbtiu-com. This website was intended to serve to create a community that would allow users to express themselves and be accompanied, as well as to have access to presentations, documents, games and informative dynamics on the subject of the collective.
I leave here the information that the web offered about the project.
This project arises from the need we all have to feel accompanied, understood and accepted.
Throughout our short lives we have already seen many people belonging to the LGTBIQ+ community who have suffered for feeling different, misunderstood, … So we decided that we wanted to work for those people who have suffered so much for being the way they are. We want to dedicate this project to those people, without any profit motive and with the only objective of creating a safe space and promoting an education, free of hate and prejudice and full of understanding, cooperation and empathy.
This is NOT a project just for LGBTIQ+ people, that the collective has a safe place is just one of our many objectives.
This project is for anyone who wants to learn, or teach others the reality that many people live every day.
We target schools because the sooner the values we teach are learned, the easier it is for them to be internalized. But it is also perfectly adaptable to private environments so that fathers, mothers, families and friends can be educated and learn without any kind of restriction … For that reason we give total availability of our material to anyone who wants to access it for FREE.
From the project we want to promote the values of respect, empathy and solidarity for all people regardless of gender, country or religion ..,
We believe that this project is necessary in order to promote, along with education for all ages, a sense of understanding and equality. We focus on providing the opportunity for all users to express themselves and freely share their experiences and personal experiences.
The community we are building with the support of all users is available to people both inside and outside the collective. We can all collaborate in generating a feeling of safety and shared support.
Our real goal is to achieve equality, respect and a polite society. We want to use all our energies to make the world a better place for all people. We have very clear goals and we know how to achieve them, so we invest our time and energy in creating a safe space for everyone who wants to share it.
Although the project had to be postponed due to academic and personal issues, I am confident that we were able to connect with people who felt represented and that the experience of starting and publishing a project like this will allow me to do even better in the next one.
