what does an "LGBT organization" do?

I just started university in America (WVU) and there’s something called the "Queer Student Union" that meets every week. Their blog says: BIGLTM stands for BIsexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Mountaineers.

WordPress – How to Install a WordPress Blog on a Website (Video Tutorial)

In this 1 1/2 hour video series you will learn step-by-step how to install wordpress correctly on your website.

The Benefits of Wordpress for Your Website Are:

1) Build a blog, or a whole different website with wordpress.
WordPress acts as a very powerful content management system (CMS), storing images, audio, video, pdfs and other documents for easy insertion into your pages. This scalable model can be used to build a simple brochure-style website, a business blog, an eCommerce site or a multi-level membership site.

2) Wordpress increases your search engine optimization (seo).
A site running on WordPress is optimized for easily publishing and changing content. Fresh, unique content is essential for getting good search engine rankings.

3) Wordpress is very easy to use.
WordPress is a software that is installed on your web server. To create or edit your website, just login the site from a web browser and access the backend admin panel. This acts as a control to do everything from change the look & feel of the site with 1 click, to add new pages or posts, change themes, edit comment and more.

4) Wordpress Posts (Blog Content)
Content that is presented as latest entry first, organized into archives automatically. This is the “blog” format, but businesses can use this to present latest news or product updates.

5) Full user registration.
WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from lower level users.

We highly recommend using WordPress as an addition to your company website, or to revise your static brochure style site.
