The Effects of Discriminations Against LGBTQIA+ Community of College
Students of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University
Humans have a variety of sexual orientations (gay, straight, bisexual,
asexual, queer, etc.), gender identities (cisgender, transgender, agender, genderqueer, third gender, etc.), and gender expressions. Our society is learning to recognize and respect these different identities, but the resources here should help you get started. Below are some basic questions and definitions to help identify the basics of sexual and gender identity and expression. LGBTQIA+ is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual. The acronym has grown over time and you will often see it as LGBT, LGBTQ+, or LGBTQIAPP+. The plush sign at the end of the acronym acknowledges that the alphabet soup of initials could go on forever when naming terms related to gender and sexualities. You may see other acronyms too, such as MOGAI, or QUILTBAG which choose to focus on different terms based on order, or in the case of QUILTBAG, spell out an easy-to-pronounce real word!. References:
