LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning.
LGBTQIA expands on that to include:
I = Intersex (people born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female)
A = Asexual (people who experience little or no sexual attraction) or Ally (supporters of LGBTQ+ rights)
So, LGBTQIA is a more inclusive acronym that acknowledges additional identities beyond the original five. It helps represent a broader spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities.
