LGBTQ+


LGBTQ+ is a term that is used to define a community. The LGBTQ+ community accommodates and stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and the + stands for other extended identities. The acronym is used to represent a diverse range of sexualities and gender-identities, referring to anyone who is non-cisgender or non-heterosexual. The community is represented with rainbow flag which gives the identities a sense of pride. And visible symbols of pride and support can be powerful, as LGBTQ+ activists know well.

HISTORY
Where disparate orientations and identities had previously been referred to as "the gay community" and later "the gay and lesbian community." The LGBT acronym eventually evolved as a way to be more inclusive of other identities. As time has moved on, however, these four letters have also shown limitations as well.
