LGBTQIA+ is an acronym that celebrates diversity in gender identity and sexual orientation. Here's a breakdown:
- Lesbian: Women attracted to women
- Gay: Men attracted to men
- Bisexual: People attracted to more than one gender
- Transgender: People whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth
- Queer: An umbrella term for anyone who doesn't identify as heterosexual or cisgender
- Questioning: People exploring their gender or sexuality
- Intersex: People born with sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female
The "+" sign acknowledges other identities like asexual (little to no sexual attraction) and pansexual (attraction regardless of gender). It's an ever-evolving term to be inclusive!
