GLOSSARY
The terms and definitions below are always evolving, changing and often express different things to different people. They are provided below as a starting point for discussion and understanding. This Glossary has been collectively built and created by the staff members of the LGBTQIA Resource Center since the early s.

This glossary contains terms, such as ableism and disability, that may not be considered directly related to identities of sexuality or gender. T
