Introduction

The history of oboe
Pevey traces the history oboe from ancient civilization period pictorial representations and archeological discoveries which dates back as far as 3000 B.C. in an Egyptian art. This followed an excavation at the Royal Cemetery of Ur; where an instrument which was made of silver was unearthed. The instrument had a narrow bore together with three holes which she said made it to be a double reed wind instrument. The early discovery was followed by an intense interest in the musical instrument during the Renaissance period of Europe; however, there are no clear details as to how this instrument entered Europe.
During the Third Year War (1618-1648), power and wealth in Europe resided within the monarchies and aristocrats of Europe. Notably, is King Louis XIV of France, who asked for the instrument to be modified for indoor performances. Thus several modifications were done to the oboe (Pevey). Besides the above, there is a second historical finding featured below.
The name oboe traces its origin from a French word “hautbois”, which means high or loud wood. The instrument was invented in Middle Ages and use to be played by hunters and shepherds and later it was acknowledged into orchestra in France in 1657. Since then the quality of the music that it produced has been improved tremendously, and this has seen its popularity increase for more than the last three centuries it has been in existence (Samuel and Jason).
There are several manufacturers of oboe. One of which is Barrington Instruments Inc. U.S. A. besides, there are Buffet Crampon in Mantes-la-Ville, France and Carmichael in UK among many others.

LGBT Community
The LGBT community has fought for equality and inclusivity all over the world. In many countries, members of the gay community, unfortunately, face a lot of discrimination, violence, and even death. For this reason, there has been an increased awareness of the issue of equality and acceptance of the LGBT community. Despite the many steps taken to ensure that the LGBT community is treated equally in areas such as marriage and other parts of social life, they still face great hostility in parts of the world. Some of the countries that criminalize gay relationships include Sudan Syria, Iraq, Qatar, the UAE, and Nigeria (Meyer). In most of these countries, same-sex relationships are punishable by death.
It is of grave concern that people still face persecution for living their truth. In some 120 countries, same-sex relationships are heavily frowned upon by legal and moral laws of the counties. Gay people’s lives are under threat. In countries such as the US where laws protect same-sex relationships, the LGBT community still faces many challenges. In the past 20 years in the US, more than 600 people of the LGBT community have been killed (Meyer). It is essential that there is increased awareness on human rights and protection of LGBT people so that they too can live their lives as they wish.
