	LGBT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LGBT (or GLBT) is an abbreviation used as a collective term to refer to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people.
		LGBT became increasingly common from the mid 1990s and as of 2005, LGBT has become so mainstream that it has been adopted by the majority of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community centers and the LGBT press in most English-speaking countries.
		This fraction of gay/lesbian/bi people are often not very visible compared to other LGBT people, as most of them blend into the general population showing few or zero external or social indicators as to their orientation, apart from interest in the same gender / when they are looking for a partner.

	LGBT Texts
		This doesn't mean that societies where these religions are dominant or practiced are (or are not) tolerant of LGBT people; simply that whatever discrimination or persecution may be present is not based on religious grounds.
		Modern studies of the nature of gender have found that human sexual preference is innate; homosexuality occurs in hundreds of species; and gender and sexual behavior is a continuum rather than two compartmentalized poles.
		Many religious groups have not found it difficult to extend tolerance to LGBT people, even if this does not lead to acceptance within their religion, or sanctioning of same-sex unions or homosexual clergy.

	LGBT
		The nature of the subject matter is highly complex, the population of interest is stigmatized, and access to the population for research is challenging, resulting in a relatively unexplored set of social issues.
		That is, although similar issues of identity and impact by the social environment cross-cut among members of this community, there is also diversity related to gender, race, marital status (legally sanctioned or not), age, and geography.
		At the same time, those issues that effect all people are of interest when conducting research within the LGBT community, e.g., culture, family of origin, family and identity formation, aging, caregiving, health care, disabilities, end of life, substance abuse, mental health, and issues of social justice.
