LGBTQA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, and

Asexual. These letters represent a spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities.
Here's a breakdown of each term:

1. Lesbian (L): A woman who is attracted romantically and/or sexually to other women.
2. Gay (G): A person (typically a man) who is attracted romantically and/or sexually to
people of the same gender, though it can be used to describe anyone in the same-sex
attracted community.
3. Bisexual (B): A person who is attracted to both people of the same gender and people
of other genders.
4. Transgender (T): A person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were
assigned at birth. This term is not about sexual orientation but about gender identity.
5. Queer (Q): An umbrella term that can refer to anyone whose sexual orientation or
gender identity is not heterosexual or cisgender. It can also be a more flexible,
inclusive term for those who don't fit neatly into the other categories. Some people
use "queer" to describe themselves as a way of rejecting traditional labels, while
others may still prefer other terms.
6. Questioning (Q): Refers to people who are exploring or unsure of their sexual
orientation or gender identity.
7. Asexual (A): A person who experiences little or no sexual attraction to others. This
term can also encompass a spectrum of experiences related to sexual attraction and
behavior.

The addition of the letters + at the end of LGBTQA (sometimes written as LGBTQIA+ or
LGBTQ+) recognizes the diversity within the community and includes other sexual
orientations and gender identities, such as pansexual, intersex, genderqueer, non-binary, and
more.

Each of these identities is valid and part of a broader movement advocating for equality,
acceptance, and the rights of people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
