LGBTQ

LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning. It is an acronym used to represent a diverse group of sexual orientations and gender identities.

– **Lesbian** refers to women who are attracted to other women.
– **Gay** is typically used to describe men who are attracted to other men, but can also refer to women in a broader context.
– **Bisexual** individuals are attracted to both men and women.
– **Transgender** describes people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
– **Queer** is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of sexual orientations and gender identities that are not heterosexual or cisgender. Some people also use the term “questioning” to refer to those who are exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The LGBTQ community advocates for equal rights and recognition, seeking to combat discrimination and encourage acceptance in society. Awareness and understanding of LGBTQ issues are important in creating inclusive environments in workplaces, educational institutions, and communities.
