LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning. It is an umbrella term for people who identify with or express gender identities or sexual orientations different from those traditionally associated with their sex assigned at birth. The LGBTQ community is a global group facing discrimination and oppression in many ways. However, as we become more open and accepting as a society, the LGBTQ community has been able to proudly embrace their identities and live their lives authentically – which is something we can all celebrate!
