LGBT係「同性戀」(LesbianGay)、「雙性向」(Bisexual)同「跨性別」(Transgender)嘅英文第一個字母組合埋嘅字。1990年代,「LGBT」呢個詞語開始逐漸普及[1][1][2]。另外,亦都有喺詞語最後加字母「Q」,代表酷兒Queer)或者對佢性別認同感到疑惑嘅人(Questioning),形成咗「LGBTQ」。LGBT依家已獲得咗好多英文國家多數LGBT族群同LGBT媒體嘅認同,成為一種非常主流嘅用法[3][4]

但係,「LGBT」嘅用法都有爭議[5]。部分雙性人(intersex)認為自己都屬於LGBT族群入面,所以支持使用「LGBTI[6][7]。亦有個別族群唔覺得自己同LGBT有關聯[8][8][9][10]有人就認為「LGBT」呢個用語太過政治正確,企圖將多元性別族群劃入灰色地帶,意味住包含主流性別族群嘅問題同優先權都有咗平等嘅考量[10][11]
