    Let's understand about LGBTQ.  Here, we learn what is the meaning of LGBTQ. Firstly I humbly request to respect all the person and respect all humankind. All people have won rights and identities. So that respect each other.

        What is the meaning of LGBTQ?

LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user friendly! You may also hear the terms “Queer Community” or “Rainbow Community” used to describe LGBTQ2+ people.

The terms LGBTQ means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning.

L means Lesbian

        A lesbian who experiences romantic love or sexual attraction to other females.

 

G means Gay

        Now Gay have two meaning,

        1. The narrow meaning, The narrow meaning means a male who experiences romantic love or sexual attraction other males

        2. Broader Meaning, A male or female who experiences romantic love or sexual attraction to people of their own sex

 

B means Bisexual

        Bisexual is attraction to more than one gender. So it could be a man or a woman who is attracted to both men and women.

 

T means Trans (gender)

        Transgender is an umbrella term for people who gender identity differs from what is typically associated they were assigned at birth and here we can have a trans woman and a trans man. Now, it's a not the same. Transgender is not necessarily the same thing as transsexual, which is a transgender person who desires to also align their body with their sexual and gender identity. Which generally includes medical procedures.

 

Q means Queer

        Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities that are not heterosexual or cisgender. The letter Q also refers to QUESTIONING. The questioning of one's gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, or all three- is a process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring and concerned about applying a social label to themselves for various reasons.

        So, all of the things that we talked about are labels. But remember that all of this is a spectrum. And some people may find themselves on different places on the spectrum or might be moving from one place to another. And this is why Q helps them identity themselves without putting a specific label on who they are, how they identity themselves, and who they're attracted to.
