Terminology

Our LGBTQ Resource Professional partners at UC Davis have developed a list of comprehensive terms related to both the LGBTQ+ community as well as general social justice terms since the early 2000s.  Many of the terms and definitions are ever-evolving and changing and often mean different things to different people.  They are provided as a starting point for discussion and understanding.
