The Role Of LGBT Wall Calendar

By Elizabeth Reed


Calendar is kind of a system, which organizes days for religious, administrative, commercial and social purposes. Within the calendars, periods of times are named. That is why we have days, weeks, years and even months. There are various methods used to classify calendars. One of the methods is the role that a calendar is intended to play. A LGBT wall calendar falls under this category. This type of calendar helps LGBT community understand occasions and events they need to attend.

Classification is also done depending on the way calendars are made. Under this method of classification there are two main types. These are wall calendars and also digital calendars. Wall calendars were introduced long time ago and they are still being used up to date. Digital calendars are actually the modern types. These types are efficient and convenient. They can be used in a variety of environments.

Wall calendars are hung on walls of buildings. Most of them are not only beautiful, but also attractive. Many people prefer them because they improve appearance of walls on which they have been hung. They add value to a property. These types can be used when those of digital types fail. On the other hand, wall calendars are mainly used within the houses and carrying them from place to place can be challenging. In the olden days, calendars played a role of preserving holidays and also religious events. They helped people remember dates of special occasions like Christmas, New Year and Thanksgiving.

LGBT calendars keep reminding members important days and important events. They clearly show the ally week. This event is held in the month of either September or October. During the event members of LGBT community who are students in colleges and K-12 schools are encouraged to stand against harassment, name-calling and other forms of bullying. Other special events marked in LGBT calendars are; Anti-bullying week, mental illness week, bisexuality day and many more.
