Alternative forms

Etymology

Initialism of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, derived from earlier LGB. Attested since 1988. Used as a self-designation in United States gay rights activism since about 1990.[1]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɛl d͡ʒiː biː tiː/

Adjective

LGBT (not comparable)

  1. Being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, or relating to these groups as a collective.
    Synonyms: GBT, GLBT
    • 2010, Geoffrey Nelson, Isaac Prilleltensky, Community Psychology: In Pursuit of Liberation and Well-Being, →ISBN:
      This differential treatment in both the community of culture and mainstream white LGBT community may lead some LGBT people of colour to experience varying degrees of visibility and invisibility within these communities, and their identity as a LGBT person may change depending on the cultural context.
    • 2016 May 17, Cherie Chan, “Chinese gay couple marry despite court ruling”, in DW News‎[3], archived from the original on 18 May 2016, LGBT rights:
      In a restaurant in Changsha, the capital of central China's Hunan province, Hu Mingliang and Sun Wenlin exchanged their wedding rings, and received blessings from over 200 friends, relatives, as well as LGBT rights activists from around the country.

Usage notes

  • Additional letters are sometimes added, such as Q for queer or questioning, I for intersex, P for pansexual, A for asexual, among others.
  • When speaking only of sexuality, but not gender, the abbreviations LGB or GLB may be used.[2]
  • Often the term queer is used as an alternative shorthand for all gender-non-conforming behavior, including homosexuality and bisexuality, but this may be controversial; see the notes there.

    • 2016 January 29, Rebekah Herrick, Minorities and Representation in American Politics, CQ Press, →ISBN:
      Further evidence of the political weakness of LGBT is that they are not concentrated enough to be a majority of voters, or even a minority of influence in any state or city.
    • 2013, Michael Shankle, The Handbook of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Public Health‎[5]:
      In many cities you will find a neighborhood where the population density of LGBT is higher than it is in other parts of the city.

      Allies can point this out when they discern that a LGBT is being asked to serve in an expert capacity and ask questions like, "How comfortable do you feel being asked to assume the role of representative for all LGBTs?"

      Whether it’s LGBT sandwiches in an era where schools in Birmingham are facing protests for teaching LGBTQ rights, or Nike promoting the fight against police brutality in the age of Trump, brands are tapping into this sense of millennial grievance.

    Trans communities
    Although the umbrella term LGBT makes pragmatic sense, there are compelling arguments to treat transgendered people as distinct from LGB communities: gender identity is clearly distinct from sexual identity (Dean et al., 2000) and to conflate the two risks ignoring the particular experiences of this ["trans"] group which is itself heterogeneous, comprising intersex individuals, androgynes, transvestites, and a whole range of others. Transgendered people […] can experience trans-phobia within LGB services and communities[.]
