Welcome to Our Research Guide on the LGBTQIA+ Community
Love is love, but identities can be complicated. So, to start you off correctly upon this research journey into the LGBTQIA+ community, let us establish some key definitions for these materials and resources.
L stands for "Lesbian;" G stands for "Gay;" B stands for "Bisexual;" T stands for "Transgender;" Q stands for either "Queer" or "Questioning;" I stands for "Intersex;" A stands for either "Asexual" or "Ally;" + allows for the addition of more identities that expand the gender and sexuality matrix, like "enby" or "pansexual."
