The following outline is provided as an overview of non-heterosexual sexual orientations, referred to collectively as "LGBT":

LGBT – initialism that collectively refers to " lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" people. In use since the 1990s, the term "LGBT" is an adaptation of the initialism "LGB", which itself started replacing the phrase "gay community" beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s, [1] which many within the community in question felt did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred. [2] The term 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 cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender. [2] [3] To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer and are questioning their sexual identity (e.g., "LGBTQ" or "GLBTQ", recorded since 1996 [4]).
