- 31. Why LGBT • It is something I feel very strongly about, I feel there is also lack in LGBT representation in St Georges media videos and A-Level media vids • But also I could not find any male actors that would have suited the role • I have a number of gay and lesbian friends (this will also be my audience I will engage with)
