LGB

Gatwick airport code

LGB is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, and bisexual—a shortened form of LGBT that omits transgender.

The abbreviation sometimes signals intentional exclusion of trans people from discussions of sexual orientation: The group's shift from LGBT to LGB was controversial.

In other contexts, it simply refers to sexual orientation specifically, distinct from gender identity.
