LGBT
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LGBT is an acronym. It means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.
This is a community. A community is a group of people who have something in common. The LGBT community has in common a sexual orientation or gender identity that is different from that of most people.
Some people make this acronym longer. They put other letters at the end:
So it can be written LGBTIQTS. Some people add Ally (someone not LGBT but who supports LGBT people.) Not everyone agrees what should be in the acronym.
It can also be referred to as the queer community.
