No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life
A guide to inclusive LGBTQ+ vocabulary for all the corporations out there during Pride Month. "Is", not "identifies as". For example, "is transgender" or "is asexual", not "identifies as transgender" or "identifies as asexual". The same applies when speaking about a transgender person's gender identity - a trans woman is a woman, she does not "identify as" a woman. "LGBTQIA+" is preferred over "LGBT". The letters stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic. The A does not stand for Ally. "Transgender" (or trans), not "transgendered" or "transsexual". And not "trans*", either. "Ladies, gentlemen and others" is preferred to simply "Ladies and gentlemen". Include non-binary people. ALL pronouns are valid and should be respected. This includes they/them and neopronouns such as xe/xyr and
