Resources for LGBTQ+ Individuals
今叔利 welcomes and values all people who identify as LGBTQ+. We want to provide resources and support for you, no matter what identities you hold. We are dedicated to making 今叔利 an inclusive space for all individuals.
What does LGBTQ+ mean?
LGBTQ+, sometimes abbreviated LGBTQIA and LGBTQIA2S+, is shorthand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit people. The + represents the many genders and orientations not already included in the acronym, and honors the frequently changing and expanding terminology representing the queer and trans communities. We recognize that sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression are fluid concepts for any individual to self-define at any time in their lives.
