Welcome to the LGBTA Wiki!
The LGBTA+ Wiki is meant to be a resource for members of the LGBTA+ community, individuals who are questioning, or anyone who's curious. Particularly this wiki is meant to be a helpful resource to explain everything there is to know about identities that are often unknown, unheard of, or are hard to find information on.
If there are any issues, please reach out to the staff team, preferably the bureaucrats. A list providing the staff team can be found here.
LGBTA stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and asexual/aromantic/agender. It's an adaptation of the initialism LGBT, which originated in the 1990s. It may be used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual, non-heteroromantic, and/or non-cisgender. Some popular variants include LGBTQ, LGBTIA, LGBTQA, or LGBTIAQ. The Q stands for questioning/queer, and the I stands for intersex. Others include LGBT+ or LGBTA+, which is used to encompass the full spectrums of sexuality and gender. Looking for answers?

| Want to discuss the Wiki, give us some feedback, or meet some like-minded individuals? Feel free to join! We're welcome to all identities as long as they are not harmful! Wiki contributors also get special roles here. | Allogamous is an identity similar to being polygamous, where an individual desires to be married to a individual who is married to multiple other individuals, but does not necessarily want to be married to those other individuals. | Banned from the Discord and think it was an unfair judgement? Please let us know with this form. We'll contact you by Discord DMs for further information if required. |

Helping Out
You can help out by creating an article for an identity that doesn't have a page. Before you make a new article, it's recommended that you read the style guide, the article guide - and be sure to follow the community guidelines.
- You don't have to ask to make an article.
- You don't have to personally identify as something to make an article about it (as long as you know enough to give an accurate description, and as long as its not exclusive to a culture, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and/or neurodivergence).
If you want to help out but don't know where to start, you can also help by adding relevant information to one of our stub articles. Information like who coined the term, when it was coined, who created the flag and when, as well as more information about the identity itself is always appreciated.
For those who are looking to coin a term, you can read this. For those who are looking to create a flag, you can read this.
