LGBTQ+ is the umbrella term encompassing sexual and gender minorities who identify or are unsure of their sexual identity or who engage in a sexual act or a r o m a n t i c relationship with same sex/-gender partners. It's a commonly used abbreviation for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Gender Queer, Queer, Intersex, Agender, Asexual, and other Queer-identifying communities. Exclusive sexual identification as non- heterosexual also helps to demarcate the identity of LGBTQ+ individuals.
