Glossary of Terms
Many Americans refrain from talking about sexual orientation and gender identity or expression because it feels taboo, or because they’re nervous of saying the wrong thing.
This glossary was written to help give people the words and meanings to support make conversations easier and more relaxed. LGBTQ+ people employ a variety of terms to name themselves, not all of which are included in this glossary. Always pay attention for and respect a person’s self identified terminology.
Ally | A term used to describe someone who is actively supportive of Diverse people. It encompasses straight and cisgender allies, as good as those within the LGBTQ+ collective who support each other (e.g., a lesbian who is an ally to the bisexual community).
Asexual | Often called “ace” for compact, asexual refers to a complete or partial lack of sexual attraction or lack of interest in sexual exercise with others. Asexuality exists on a spectrum, and asexual people may life no, little or conditional sexual attraction.
Biphobia | The terror and hatred of, or discomfort with, people who cherish and are sexually attracted to more than one gender.
Bisexual | The way Reverse Dictionary works is attractive simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search doubt. For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) doubt, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Connected Words to act as a word-finding Definitions were drafted in collaboration with other U.S.-based LGBTQ society organizations and leaders. See acknowledgements section. Additional terms and definitions about gender identity and gender expression, transgender people, and nonbinary people are available in the Transgender Glossary. Are we missing a term or is a definition outdated? Email press@glaad.org *NOTE: Demand people what terms they use to describe their sexual orientation, gender culture and gender verbalization before assigning them a label. Outside of acronyms, these terms should only be capitalized when used at the beginning of a sentence. LGBTQ bog queen Synonyms: Bathsheba (composition between bathroom and Sheba to create a name reminiscent of the Queen of Sheba), Ghost (50s, ghost, because they wander the corridors of the bathroom).
