LGBTQ community
Rainbow identity group
The LGBTQ community refers collectively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, along with the social networks, organizations, and culture they share.
The term emphasizes solidarity and shared experience among people whose sexual orientations or gender identities differ from heterosexual and cisgender norms: The LGBTQ community has made significant gains in civil rights.
The acronym sometimes expands to include additional identities (LGBTQIA+), though usage varies.
