LGBTQI

LGBTQI stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Intersex.

The initialism LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) has also resulted, although such initialisms are sometimes criticised for being confusing and leaving some people out, as well as issues of placement of the letters within the new title.

Sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression—not to be confused with sexual activity or behaviour – are personal characteristics that everyone has. Including LGBTQI employees is a vital component of a comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy. Successfully recruiting, retaining, developing, and advancing LGBTQI employees helps organisations compete effectively for talent, minimise attrition costs, and better access LGBTQI consumer markets.

What is queer culture?

It is sometimes referred to as queer culture (indicating people who are queer), while the term gay culture may be used to mean “LGBTQI culture,” or to refer specifically to homosexual male culture.

LGBT culture varies widely by geography and the identity of the participants.

Why did they add queer to LGBT?

The “Q” can stand for Questioning and/or Queer: Questioning refers to individuals who are unsure of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Queer is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of sexual orientations and gender identities excluding heterosexuality.

Increasing your organisation’s inclusivity and recognition of diversity will benefit employees, clients, stakeholders and your organisational culture as a whole.
