The information below is intended to raise awareness and aid understanding of LGBTQ+ terminology and issues.

Each of these terms and definitions have been researched, analyzed and consulted upon based on perspectives, cultural sensitivity, common usage and appropriateness. Terminology, definitions and meaning for people change overtime, and this list should be merely a guide toward understanding and not the sole basis of acquiring the knowledge that encompasses a LGBTQ+ diverse community. Each person or community may have their own meanings and/or different terminology. We encourage you to ask first and do not let definitions to generalize an individual or population.
