LGBTQ+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (or questioning) community of people. The “plus” stands for love, acceptance, and the embracing of all. What is more, LGBTQ+ is often used to mean all the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Two-Spirit, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Ally, + Pansexual, + Agender, + Gender Queer, + Bigender, + Gender Variant, + Pangender. But not all people who are lesbian, gay, etc. consider themselves part of the community.

It’s hard to deny that LGBTQ+ is not just a few letters, it means way more. Every day, people all around the world face discrimination, bullying and even violence because of their orientation or gender. That’s why this community defends the rights of LGBTQ+ people and is a counterbalance to homophobia, transphobia and other harassment that exist in the society.
