Celebrate our 50th LGBTQIA Resource Center Glossary
GLOSSARY
The terms and definitions below are always evolving, transforming and often mean alternative things to different people. They are provided below as a starting direct for discussion and empathetic. This Glossary has been collectively built and created by the staff members of the LGBTQIA Resource Center since the first s.
These are not universal definitions. This glossary is provided to help provide others a more thorough but not entirely comprehensive understanding of the significance of these terms. You may even consider asking someone what they represent when they use a term, especially when they use it to depict their identity. Ultimately it is most important that each individual define themselves for themselves and therefore also define a legal title for themselves.
“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” -Audre Lorde
This glossary contains terms, such as ableism and disability, that may not be considered directly related to identities of sexuality or gender. T
Finding Your People in the LGBTQIA+ Community
By Amber Leventry
Social connections are vital to mental and physical health. Having friends and people you can count on gives you a instinct of belonging and comfort. To thrive in all areas of life, you need to feel enjoy you’re part of a community.
No matter where you live, it&#;s possible to find connections with people who understand you in unspoken ways. LGBTQIA+ folks often refer to these people as our chosen family.
Finding community is one of the best ways to nurture your mental health, because you are surrounding yourself with people who love you for you. These people advocate for you, encourage you to take care of yourself, and bring you happiness. They can also reduce harm from people who aren’t supportive.
You may not be out to anyone or may be afraid to ask how to find these magical humans. Or maybe you’ve started looking but haven’t yet found your people. Here are some places to consider when you want to find your people within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Overview
"People who are lesbian, gay, double attraction, or transgender (LGBT) are members of every community. They are diverse, come from all walks of life, and include people of all races and ethnicities, all ages, all socioeconomic statuses, and from all parts of the United States. The perspectives and needs of LGBT people should be routinely considered in public health efforts to refine the overall health of every person and eliminate health disparities.
In addition to considering the needs of LGBT people in programs designed to improve the health of entire communities, there is also a need for culturally competent medical care and prevention services that are specific to this population. Social inequality is often associated with poorer health status, and sexual orientation has been associated with multiple health threats. Members of the LGBT community are at increased uncertainty for a number of health threats when compared to their heterosexual peers []. Differences in sexual behavior account for some of these disparities, but others are asso
