an initialism and umbrella term for the Queer community; lesbian, gay, bisexual, Queer/questioning, asexual/ally – with the “plus” referencing the various other Queer identities.
This is sometimes used to intentionally exclude intersex, such as in discussions about topics or issues in which the intersex community are not involved (such as at the request of the intersex community).
