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.
