Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:20:48 +0000

I know it is a lot to grab a hold of, so here is a definition! (Let me know if I missed anything, because I will edit it to fix it)

L- Lesbian- A woman who is attracted to other women.

G-Gay- A person (normally referring to a man, but can also be use to describe a WLW relationship) who is attracted to the same gender.

B-Bisexual- A person attracted to more than 1 gender. (For example, a boy who likes girls and boys, or a girl who likes nonbinary people and boys)

T-Transgender- A person who identifies as a different gender than the one they were assigned when they were born.

Q-Queer- A term used for anyone not heterosexual or cisgender.

Q-Questioning- The term used for someone who is exploring their sexuality and/or gender identity.

I-Intersex- Someone who is born with physical $ex characteristics that don't fit into the labels of male or female. (Affects roughly 1-2% of the population)

A-Asexual- Someone who feels $exually attracted to little to no people.

A-Aromantic- Someone who doesn't feel romantically attracted to anyone.

A-Ally- An ally is a person who does not identify as LGBTQ+, but supports the LGBTQ+ community.

N-Nonbinary- Someone who doesn't fit into the traditional male/female genders. They often use they/them pronouns.

A-Agender- Someone under the non-binary umbrella who identifies as genderless, or gender neutral.

P-Pansexual- Someone who feels romantic/$exual attraction to someone regardless of their gender identity.

Once again, if I missed anything, let me know because I want this to be a good set of definitions for anyone who wants to know, whether they are questioning, or allies, or already know who they are, but want to know who else the is under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella!

Basic/common terms:

Gay: Most people refer to the word gay as the entire LGBTQ+ community, but the original definition is a man liking other men.

Lesbian: Refers to girls liking other girls, although some men can identify as lesbian also.

Bisexual: Being attracted to both girls and boys regardless of your assigned gender at birth.

Transgender: Not identifying as your assigned gender at birth, transitioning to another gender.

Cisgender: Identifying with your assigned gender at birth.

Pansexual: Being attracted to people of all genders, regardless of what they identify as.

Straight: Not a part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. It involves someone being attracted to others of the opposite gender.

More complex/less talked about terms:

Genderfluid: Someone who's gender is 'fluid' and changes daily/weekly/monthly/whatever they're feeling. Genderfluid falls under the Transgender and Non-Binary 'umbrellas'. For example, they could wake up feeling like a girl then feel like a boy later that day and feel like both and neither the next.

Polysexual: Someone who is willing to be in a relationship with more than one person; a poly relationship.

Omnisexual: Similar to Pansexual, but the individual likes everyone, yet still has certain preferences.

Non-binary: Someone who falls under the Transgender 'umbrella', and does not fall under the gender binaries of male and female.

Aromantic: Someone who feels little to no ROMANTIC attraction.

Asexual: Someone who feels little to no S*XUAL attraction.

(AroAce is someone who is a combination of the two!)

Demigirl/Demiboy: Someone who feels only partially male/female. (Demiboys feel partially like a boy, and Demigirls feel partially like a girl!)

Agender: Someone who doesn't identify as having a gender at all.

Cupioromantic: Someone who doesn't feel any romantic attraction but wants a romantic relationship.
