First off, this is the longest acronym I know, and this is an explaination for what each of these mean.

Lesbian- Homosexual, typically girl x girl but some guys identify as lesbian. The lesbian pride flag is pink, white and red.

Gay- Homosexual, typically guy x guy but some girls identify as gay. The gay pride flag is rainbow.

Genderqueer/Non-Binary- If someone is genderqueer A.K.A. Non-binary they do not identify as the gender they were born with but do not disclose their current gender. The genderqueer pride flag is green, white, and purple.

Bisexual- This person likes boy and girls (some say bisexual means more than one gender, but I see it as two). The bisexual pride flag is pink, purple, and blue.

Demisexual- This means the person doesn't feel attracted to anyone unless they have formed a strong emotional connection them. The demisexual pride flag is black, white, grey and purple, the black a triangle on the left side.

Transgender- This person does not identify as the gender they were born with but rather the opposite gender. Some places do not recognize someone as transgender without the surgery. The transgender/transsexual pride flag is white, pink and blue.

Transsexual- Same as transgender for the most part.

Two-Spirit- Basically, it means transgender/sexual. In some Native American cultures it is a third gender meaning someone who acts and identifies as the opposite as their biological gender. Unable to find a pride flag specific to two-spirit.

Intersex- Not defined as either gender, NOT transgender/sexual or two-spirit which is identifying oneself as their non-biological gender but rather when at birth cannot be identified as either male nor female. The intersex pride flag is yellow with a purple eclipsed circle.

Queer- Someone who is not straight but does not disclose what their specific sexuality is. The queer pride flag is rainbow.

Questioning- Someone who does not know what their sexuality or gender is and is still trying to figure it out. Unable to find a pride flag specific to questioning.

Asexual (A.K.A. Ace)- Someone who does not have an attraction to any gender. The ace pride flag is black, white, grey, and purple, but unlike the demisexual pride flag it is only striped.

Allies- An ally is someone who while being straight and cisgender supports LGBT+ and it's movements. The ally pride flag is black and white with a rainbow A shape.

Pansexual- Someone who is attracted to more than 2 genders. The pansexual pride flag is pink, yellow, and blue.

Polyamorous- Someone who is interested in having a relationship with more than one partner, such as in a threesome or foursome. The polyamorous pride flag is black, red, blue, and a slight bit of yellow.

 

More things not in this acronym-

Polysexual- Attracted to more than two genders. The polysexual pride flag is pink, green, and blue.

 

 

Cisgender- To identify as one's biological gender. The cisgender pride flag is pink and blue.

Heterosexual- Straight, or attracted to the opposite gender. The straight pride flag is black and white.

 

 

If you hear about another sexuality or gender just comment and ask what it means, I will figure it out and explain it to you. I made this in case anyone didn't know what something was or was curious about the flag. Also, this took a long time and a lot of research. So what are your flags (gender and sexuality)? Mine is pink and blue for my gender and pink, red and white for my sexuality, or rainbow if you actually read the whole thing. If I was not good at the description for any flag, like say ally or demisexual, just tell me and I will post a picture.

I agree Turtle!

Elo what she is saying is that their is just MALE AND FEMALE BOY AND GIRL!

There is no in between no half way! Their is just those to genders! And there is no Pan or "attracted to no one" Half of these people are kids who are in there young teens and just haven't found some one yet!

I'm just a girl not a cisgender or whatever!

It's actually not confusing what's confusing is all the other genders people have added to Male and Female! Half of the ones on that list are copies of the another one!

Look lgbtq+ is not a thing! I'm sorry!

cisgender is just identifying as the gender you were born with.

I agree with anonymous.

No. Agreeing with the gender you were born with is feeling yourself and everyone THE TRUTH!!!!! LGBTQIA+ Is not a thing people made it up. Idk why but they thought it would be 'funny' to have 28 different genders that you had research and discover what u are. Guess what??? You don't need to research. You know what your   REAL gender is when your 2 you don't need to all of a sudden 'change it' Because you found out about another type of gender that sounds more like you. NO. You are a boy or a girl. And God made you that way. OK??

but what about trans people? they actually physically changed their gender.
by (957k points)
I’m actually not religious, TurtleUnicorns. Boom.

Also, some trans people did go under gender-assignment surgery. But most trans people didn’t.
by (165k points)
Look I don't have all the answers.

But you could literally change anything about yourself that doesn't mean that's who you are.
by (155k points)

You are still your original gender no matter how many times you get a plastic surgery, change you voice, but your hair, or how you dress. You are still a male or female. You can have everybody think your male when your really a female. But No. Your still a Female!

This argument is pointless. Can’t we just agree to disagree?
by (165k points)
Yes pls!

Ok then.

Fine. I just hope you'll one day realize common sense.
by (156k points)
Yes elo I hope you do bluezswagger and sparkle Rose thanks for standing up for the right thing!!!
by (957k points)
I already realize common sense. My common sense is that LGBT is right and that arguing is a complete waste of time.
by
Okay, SparkleRose, I’ve seen you before. Hi, it’s me, someone you won’t remember. WHY DO YOU KEEP COMMENTING ON POSTS YOU KNOW PEOPLE WONT CARE ABOUT THAT COMMENT? STOP SHOVING YOUR BELIEFS IN PEOPLES FACES. LITERALLY NOBODY CARES. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO PROOF THAT GOD OR JESUS OR ANY OF THAT EXISTS. YOU CANT JUST CHANGE OUR MINDS. THE PRIDE COMMUNITY IS A STRONG ONE. WE ARE SO USED TO GETTING HURT BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. JUST STOP COMMENTING YOUR BELIEFS ON POSTS WHERE THAT IS NOT WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR.  YOU BELIEVE, BUT YOU CAN’T JUST BULLY US BY TELLING US WERE SO WRONG. I’M NOT TRYING TO RESTART THE FIGHT, BUT WHAT I’M ASKING IS…

can you please stop commenting on pride posts for us? thank you

Exactly -GoldenEagle-

I believe- wait scratch that I KNOW Jesus is real because the bible says so and I know the Bible is true because of this:

What's the most confusing thing? A lot of people would say religion, right?? Well guess what, in the Bible, not ONE time does something contradict itself.

Because the testimonies. The testimonies in the Bible, it lines up with what factual history books say.

The bible is real, Jesus is real, God is real and he created you.
by (156k points)
Yes!!! Thanks you so much!!!

God can be real but man, your being quite rude right now. You might think we’re going to hell but good gracious you might come down with us. I don’t think anyone was trying to put up a fight. Also, pretty sure no one really said god wasn’t real. The reason why people make posts like this is to give people understanding, because a lot of people are going through some things about themselves, sexuality or gender identity. No one said it was for an argument.

Imagine this, you two: Your a happy parent and your child is 15. You both are normal members of the church and think this. But soon, your child (I’ll just pretend they are a girl) has decided she has to come out to you. And she reveals that she wants to be a boy in terror. Obviously, he wants you to accept, but will you? If you don’t, you kind of are breaking off the connection between you and your own kid. The kid you love. So are you going to? Even if you disagree with the community, what about your child?

This kind of stuff happens all the time. And kids get rejected a lot. Thats what a lot of us are afraid of. I’ve come out, and luckily my parents were accepting. But I’ve lost connection with my grandparents, cousins, etc on my dads side. It was sad. Do you want to reject your kid like your rejecting us? I think you can have your own belief, thats completely fine. We believe differently- can you accept that please? We’ve had to accept and bow down to religions for so long, can you give us the same respect? I really do think that will help. I’m trying to be kind right now. I hope I didn’t sound rude.

Thank you.
by (155k points)
I have no intentions of being or sounding rude. I am stating the truth in hopes of someone becoming saved!

I am giving them understanding, understanding, that this, is wrong.

I would never reject my child because as a mother, my job is to raise her to know that's wrong.

I'm sorry toy lost contact with your family I truly am. But that's a reason LGBT+ Is wrong because there are fights and relationships are broken.
by (957k points)
Even straight people have fights. Even straight relationships are broken.
by (155k points)
True. But the don't have fights over what gender they are or what gender they like.
by (156k points)
Thanks you
by
I, personally, do not agree with you, SparkleRose. There are people everywhere that are LGBTQIA+, including people of your own religion. I don't really have a religion. I can tell you this much: we all have different beliefs, and anyone LGBTQIA+ is valid. If you don't believe in it, then stop commenting on these posts and being hurtful. Just don't click on them. And let's just stop fighting, PLEASE.

Thanks, @Hahahaha
by (957k points)

Writingnerd, I’m not religious either. And I completely agree with your statement.

True. But the don’t have fights over what gender they are or what gender they like.

SparkleRose, you do have a point there. Most straight relationships don’t have that kind of fights, but some straight cisgender people come out to their partners and then they have fights about that.

I’m cisgender, bisexual, and maybe demisexual! I hadn’t heard about the last one until now but it sounds like me!
by (165k points)
You can't be all those at once!
by (156k points)
You cant
by (957k points)
Yeah you can. Cisgender means you identify with the gender you were born with.

Bisexual means you’re attracted to both boys and girls.

Demisexual means you’re not attracted to anyone unless you have a strong emotional connection with them.
by
Yes, you can. You can be all of those at once.

Is it bad I wheezed at the thought of a gay man saying their a lesbian
by (165k points)
It's not as common as a lesbian saying their gay, but it's possible. I suppose it would be odd though.
by (415k points)
i agree, its just kind of odd because lesbian is girlXgirl not boyXboy like that would make your straight if your were a male lesbian LOL
by (43.0k points)
I mean, lesbian is only for girls, but gay is technically neutral.

by (350k points)
Huh. Whoa. Most of these are really odd. I think I'll stick with LGBT+ acronym.

My flags would be straight and cisgender. I'm not an ally... why don't they have a thing for people who don't support it but accept it?
by (165k points)
+1
I don't know, they might in the future.
by (1.34m points)
EXACTLY!
by
Because you can't say you support it but don't accept it. If you do not accept it, you are not supporting it.

You might be a bit confused about what you mean - if a member of your family came out as LGBT+, would you want them to change? It doesn't matter what you would say to them, would you, in your thoughts, which they were not. If the answer is yes, you neither support it nor accept it. If the answer is no, that means you are an ally.

Accepting LGBT+ and being an ally does not mean doing extra things like donating to things like support for them, it just means not wishing it didn't exist and not being rude towards them.
