My favourite film is Malcolm X (1992), which suggests that my identity is deep-rooted in the pan-Africanism ideology as well as civil rights activism. With this I of course find myself resonating with Malcolm the most out of all the characters particularly towards the end of the film.

LGBT identities are constructed into looking as if they're a group who come under a significant level of scrutiny/questioning and opposition by those that don't belong in it. The trailer for Pride displays it with the way in which gay people are shown protesting for their rights on the streets en masse, with things like placards to show for it. Wilde also does the same with the confusion that there appears to be regarding the sperm donation that was underwent for the lesbian couple to have a child. Audiences therefore could be said to be encouraged to respond to the representations in a way where they develop a level of sympathy for members of the LGBT community.
