Can you imagine what life would be like if everyone thought, looked and dressed the same?

We live in a world where it is assumed that you are straight (heterosexual) and either male or female until you are asked, you decide to tell someone or ‘come out’. However, there is a spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity and lots of people feel they identify better with the LGBTQIA+ community.

What does LGBTQIA+ stand for?
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (one’s sexual or gender identity), intersex, and asexual/aromantic/agender and more.
