What does it mean to be lesbian, gay bisexual, or transgender?
Males that identify as gay are sexually attracted to and fall in love with other men. Females that identify as lesbian are women who are attracted to other women. Bisexuals are individuals that have feelings of attraction for both men and women. Transgender people were born either male or female and identify with the “other gender”. You can find more detailed terms listed on the “LGBTQA A-Z” page here at the WebCenter. Some experts estimate that about one in 10 people in the world may identify as LGBT. This means that in any large group of people, there are usually several LGBT people present. However, often no one can tell whether someone is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender unless he or she wants it known.
