LGBTQIA+ is an initialism which stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual".[1] LGBTQIA+ is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual orientations.
LGBTQIA+ culture varies widely by geography and the identity of the participants. Elements common to cultures of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people pride movements, including pride parades, events such as the Gay Games and Southern Decadence, and LGBTQIA+ media and works by LGBTQIA+ artists, including the queer art movement. Not all LGBTQIA+ people identify with LGBTQIA+ culture; this may be due to geographic distance, unawareness of the subculture's existence, fear of social stigma or a preference for remaining unidentified with sexuality or gender-based subcultures or communities.
