I. Introduction
LGBT is an umbrella term covering a very heterogeneous group of lesbian, gay, bisexual andtransgender people who often appear with joint political efforts in the local and internationalpolitical arena for efficiency: in order to get a better social representation and more politicalsupport. While there can be significant differences between the individuals who are politicallyrepresented under the LGBT heading, their main uniting force derives from their socialminority group membership. LGBT people are members of relatively powerless social groups,similarly to a significant proportion of Roma people in Hungary, but they differ from“traditional” minorities in two main aspects: they are usually not marked by their bodies, thusthey are not recognisable at first sight; and their existence is still perceived in a lot of placesas “challenging the natural order of things” (Gross 1991).
