It is important to understand the LGBTQ+ community in order to promote equality and acceptance for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. By increasing knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community, individuals can become allies and advocates for LGBTQ+ rights.
A simple and effective way to show your understanding of the LGBTQ+ community is by using an individual's correct pronouns.
LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and ally. The plus sign is used to signify all of the gender identities and sexual orientations that are not specifically covered by the other initials, such as non-binary people or asexual people.
LGBTQIA+ is an umbrella term used to refer to the diverse community of people who identify as non-heterosexual or non-cisgender.
