February was LGBTQ+ history month.  Over the past year, we have learned more about the LGBTQ+ community and how attitudes have changed over the past 50 years.  Last month in class, we learned about the discrimination suffered in the past.  Some young people were bullied in school and it was something people didn’t feel they could talk.  In the past, the LGBTQ+ community was not represented on TV programs.  This made people feel isolated and sad, or even scared to reveal their sexual orientation.  People even went to jail like Alan Turin who broke the enigma code during the Second World War!  At FIPS, we believe everyone is equal and should be treated fairly.  In school we learned about the different flags and what they represent.  We painted some flags in school (progressive pride, lesbian and bi-sexual) and displayed them on our windows to show our support.  By writing this blog, we are also sharing our support further afield. The more we talk about LGBTQ+ and raise awareness.
