ABSTRACT

People often use the acronym LGBT to signify the identities lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. Sometimes in addition to LGBT there might also be a Q for queer, a second Q for questioning, a second T for transsexual, an I for intersex, a P for pansexual, or an A for ally. We have expanded this “alphabet soup” of identities beyond only gay and lesbian, but even as we try to add letters to include more people based on their identities, we often leave some groups out.
