LGBTQ+ terminology

LGBTQ+ terminology relates to the diverse identities regarding gender and sexual orientation. "Lesbian" and "gay" refer to how people love others; "bisexual" means attraction to multiple genders. "Transgender" describes those whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex at birth. "Queer" is an umbrella term for various non-heteronormative identities, while "intersex" refers to physical sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions. The "+" represents other identities like asexual, non-binary, and more. Understanding these terms fosters respect for individual experiences and promotes inclusivity.
