Here’s how you say Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender in British Sign Language

This brilliant video shows how to sign some important words for the LGBT+ community.

Deaf Direct has produced this video of signs to help everybody speak a little BSL (British Sign Language) this pride season. So if you’ve ever wanted to know how to sign lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, now’s your chance!

William and Simon, who both ID as gay, explain in the video that here in the UK we use BSL – rather than ASL (American Sign Language).

Here they take you through the way in which you can communicate with people who know BSL.

The words they recreate are:

Lesbian

Gay

Bisexual

Transgender

Queer

Straight

Leather

Bear

Drag

Pride Day

Happy Pride Day

Fabulous
