      Pride Month 2023: What do LGBTQ AND LGBTQIA+ stand for?

      Pride Month is observed in June and this month is celebrated to honor the LGBTQ community. In celebration of this month, pride parades take place across the world to spread awareness.

      However, there is still confusion among people about the acronyms LGBTQ and LGBTQIA+, so let's understand what they stand for and what they mean.

      L: This stands for lesbian, which means a woman who is sexually, romantically or emotionally attracted to other women.

      G: This stands for Gay and it stands for a man who is attracted to men or it can also be used for people who are attracted to the similar genders as theirs.

      B: This stands for Bisexual. It is used for people who are attracted to more than one gender.

      T: This stands for transgender. This is used for people whose gender identity or expressions are different from the cultural expectations.

      Q: This has two meanings, one is queer and the other is questioning. Queer is used for people who do not identify as straight or have any specific gender-fluid identities. It can also be used as questioning and is used by people who are questioning their identity.

      Notably, in the acronym LGBTQIA+, the meaning of LGBTQ is the same, so let's know what IA+ stands for

      I: This stands for Intersex and is used for people who are born with differences in their sex traits and reproductive anatomy.

      A: This stands for Asexual and it is used for people who lack sexual interest in others

      +: This symbol stands for several other sexual identities and orientations.
