LGBTQ
(Redirected from LGBT)
LGBTQ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer or Questioning. The term is used to refer to individuals and communities that identify with these sexual orientations and gender identities.
History
The history of the LGBTQ community is a complex and varied one, with roots in many different cultures and periods of history. The modern LGBTQ rights movement began in the late 20th century, with the Stonewall riots in 1969 often cited as a turning point.
Terminology
The term LGBTQ is an inclusive term that encompasses a wide range of sexual orientations and gender identities. Each letter in the acronym represents a different group within the community:
- Lesbian: Women who are attracted to other women.
- Gay: Men who are attracted to other men, although the term can also be used more broadly to refer to anyone who is attracted to the same sex.
- Bisexual: Individuals who are attracted to both men and women.
- Transgender: Individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
- Queer or Questioning: Individuals who are questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity, or who identify as something other than strictly heterosexual or cisgender.
LGBTQ Rights
The fight for LGBTQ rights has been a significant aspect of the community's history. This includes the fight for legal recognition of same-sex relationships, the right to change legal gender, and protection from discrimination.
LGBTQ Culture
LGBTQ culture is a term used to describe the shared experiences, customs, and norms of the LGBTQ community. This can include everything from art and literature to social activities and shared symbols.
