LGBTQ+ Glossary
of Terms
What’s Inside?
In the spirit of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), we offer our LGBTQ+ Glossary of Terms. Terms to use and terms to avoid when working with this patient population and coworkers. Our world is rapidly changing and it’s important we are sensitive to our colleagues, patients, family, friends and acquaintances. Understanding, sensitivity and compassion goes a long way in both our professional and personal lives. We hope this information is useful and enlightening.
