'I AM WHAT I AM'

Living In A Rainbow Room is a short documentary looking into the lives of three individuals who attend Rainbow Rooms UK, a Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender (LGBT) social group. We look at their past, present lives and their plans for the future. We hear about the obstacles they have faced and how they overcome the difficulties life throws at them. During the documentary we look back on the history of homosexuality, from when Queen Victoria made homosexuality illegal to the Stonewall Riots in 1969.
During the documentary you will meet three individuals:
