The term LAT was first known in the Netherlands where a Dutch journalist, Michel Berkiel, wrote an article in the Haagse Post in 1978 about a phenomenon he had observed and in which he lived with the person he loved. While he was writing the article, he asked his colleagues in the morning meeting of the newspaper if they could help him with a good title for thiS article he was writing. Someone suggested to name it after a recent movie shown in the Netherlands at that time: Eva and Frank; Living Apart Together. Living Apart Together was too long a title or a name and therefore he used the acronym: LAT or lat which already was a word in the Netherlands (meaning stick) and which made it also easier to be accepted. The Netherlands is the only country as far as we know where the term LAT or lat is integrated in the everyday language.
