LGBTQIA+ What does it mean?
This is an extract from Wikipedia - LGBT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT)
LGBT (or GLBT) is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s.[4] Activists believed that the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.
