'''LGBT+''' or '''GLBT+''' stands for [[Lesbian]], [[Gay]], [[Bisexual]], [[Transgender]], with the plus standing for anyone not included under the main four categories. The term has been used since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, marking the inclusion of transgender individuals in the community. It is the most commonly used term to refer to the community and it is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and [[gender]] identity-based cultures. The term can be used to refer to anyone who is not [[Straight|heterosexual]],

Several other variants of the acronym exist, some of the most popular include:
*
*LGBTQ(+): Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, [[Queeric]]/[[Questioning]]
*LGBTI(+): Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, [[Intersex]]
*LGBTQIA(+): Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queeric/Questioning, Intersex,
Many other acronyms that are combination of these. Other, less commonly seen variants may include letters such as "U" for "unsure", "C" for "curious
Initialisms such as LGBTTQQIAAP ([[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[bisexual]], [[transgender]], [[Transsex|transsexual]], [[Queer|queer,]] [[questioning]], [[intersex]], [[asexual]], [[Allies|ally]], [[pansexual]]) have also resulted, although such initialisms are often criticized for being leaving some individuals out, as well as issues of placement of the letters within the new title, and are also criticized for implying that allies are members of the community (most queer individuals agree that allies are not LGBT+). They are simultaneously criticized for being too confusing and too long to be used in normal speech.

The "Harmony" pride flag, (also sometimes known as the "Community" pride flag,) created by Tumblr user PoisonousPastels on February 14th, 2021, aims to achieve representation of all within the LGBT+ community. Unlike most pride flags, this flag is not rectangular. Instead, it opts to have a swallowtail shape. The heart within the center is representative of love, both platonic and romantic. The ring/circle around it represents a unified space where everyone can feel welcome. The empty space of the swallowtail formation represents space for those who are still [[questioning]]/figuring out their identity. Individual colors also have their own meanings: Black is for individual experiences, brown is for individuals of color, pink is for community and acceptance. red is for gender non-conformity, orange is for love of the same gender, yellow is for non-binary, intersex, and [[genderqueer]] identities, green is for a-spec identities, light blue is for freedom, darker blue is for love of multiple genders, and purple is for spirit.
On June 6th, 2021, the group Intersex Equality Rights UK shared a redesign of the progress pride flag to include the intersex flag. The redesign was done by Valentino Vecchietti, a group member.
