sexual minorities
Sexual minorities are groups of people whose sexual preferences, attractions, or identities differ from the mainstream or majority. This includes individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBTQ+), as well as those whose attractions do not fit typical heterosexual or cisgender norms. Recognizing sexual minorities promotes understanding of diverse experiences and supports equal rights and acceptance. These individuals may face social, legal, and personal challenges but contribute significantly to the richness of human diversity. Understanding and respecting sexual minorities fosters inclusive communities where everyone can live authentically.
