Introduction
There are several issues surrounding the school environment at Coluni-Uff school. Therefore, several themes of these issues were divided among different groups, with the aim of seeding and debating related problems based on a documentary.
There are issues that need to be discussed but they are not because they still have a weight on them, and that is why the documentary was made.
One of these issues is the issue of LGBT students and employees within the school. Removing them from invisibility and giving these people a voice to tell their experiences within the school, so that it increasingly becomes a welcoming place.
A perverse LGBTphobia can be observed within society in general, which is why it is always important to talk about these issues. So that more and more people stop hating each other, and even themselves.
Colorful love is beautiful.
