It is the most well-known collective term for the community of gender, sex and sexuality minorities. Many towns and universities have LGBT groups for local socialising, networking, and [[activism]]. '''MOGII''' is another label for this group of people, and is short for "marginalized orientations, [[gender identity|gender identities]], and [[intersex]]." This term is the most inclusive of many kinds of [[gender nonconforming]], gender variant, and [[nonbinary]] people, as some do not necessarily identify strictly as transgender. | [[File:Lgbt.jpg|thumb|Alt=The colours of the LGBT flag in horizontal stripes.

Queer is a reclaimed slur. Some people choose not to use an acronym, and instead use the word "[[queer]]" as a collective term for all these LGBT+ identities. It is used as a concise way of referring to all parts of the MOGII community. It's also used for all the more difficult-to-define identities that are not [[heterosexuality|heterosexual]] and/or not [[cisgender]]. | Queer is a reclaimed slur.
