"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer" (often abbreviated as LGBTQ) refers to a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities. Lesbian individuals are women who are attracted to other women, while gay typically refers to men attracted to men. Bisexual people are attracted to both men and women. Transgender individuals have a gender identity that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. The term queer is an umbrella term that encompasses various sexual orientations and gender identities, often used by those who reject traditional labels. Together, these identities represent a spectrum of human experiences.
