LGBTQ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer or Questioning. Each letter represents a distinct group within the broader spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities:
- Lesbian: A woman who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to other women.
- Gay: A person who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to people of the same gender. While the term can refer to both men and women, it is more commonly associated with men.
- Bisexual: A person who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to both men and women.
- Transgender: A person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This term encompasses a variety of gender identities.
- Queer: An umbrella term that can refer to anyone who is not heterosexual and/or not cisgender. It is also used by some as a way to describe a fluid sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Questioning: Refers to individuals who are exploring or unsure about their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The term LGBTQ is often extended to include other letters, such as:
- Ifor Intersex: Refers to people born with physical sex characteristics that don't fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.
- Afor Asexual: Describes individuals who do not experience sexual attraction.
- +: The plus symbol is used to indicate that there are many other sexual orientations and gender identities beyond the ones listed in the acronym.
The LGBTQ acronym is part of a broader effort to recognize and support the diversity of human sexuality and gender identity.
