  LGBT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LGBT (or GLBT) is an initialism used as a collective term to refer to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people.
The initialism GLBT is commonly used in the United States, but to a lesser extent elsewhere.
For example, some transgender and transsexual people do not like the term because they do not believe their cause is the same as that of LGB people; they may also object when an organization adds a T to their acronym when the level of service they actually offer to trans people is questionable.
