LGBTQ PLUS : Advocating for LGBTQ EqualityLGBTQ PLUS is civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer equality.Why the Plus —  LGBTQ PLUSWhen the idea of  LGBTQ PLUS first originated, our team wanted to find a way to incorporate all identities into our resource. To do so we looked at the two most commonly used acronyms to define the “gay community”• L.G.B.T (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) and• L.G.B.T.Q.Q.I.A (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual)The PLUS (+) in our name ensures that we will always be inclusive of all identities to make our community feel welcomed and that nobody is left out. We make it a goal to not have a closed focus mind of the continuing ways people define themselves as. And yes, straight allies are included in our LGBT+ acronym!
