The meaning of LGBT
In modern language, the word LGBT attaches great importance to the cultural diversity of sexual orientation and gender identity. It not only refers to the narrow sense of gay, bisexual or transgender groups, but also widely represents all non-heterosexuals.
Nowadays, LGBT has been recognized and adopted by most LGBT ethnic groups and LGBT media in many English-speaking countries, and has become a very mainstream usage. Although LGBT and GLBT have exactly the same meaning, it is generally believed that LGBT contains more lesbian feminism. The use of LGBT is not completely uncontroversial. Some bisexuals think they belong to the LGBT ethnic group, so they support the use of LGBTI.
