Note: This article is for a term pertaining to lesbians, bisexual people, and gay men. For people who are simultaneously gay and lesbian, see Velaurian.
LesBiGay, or LGB, is a term for things relating to lesbians, bisexual people, and gay men, or the LGB community. It may also refer to a lesbian, bisexual, and/or gay individual. LesBiGay may be capitalized to emphasize each part of the term (Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay), or it may be written as "lesbigay" without capitalization.
== Etymology ==
LesBiGay and LGB both combine the lesbian, bisexual, and gay labels. "Les" (or "lesbi") is taken from "lesbian," "bi" is taken from "bisexual," and "gay" is simply gay.
== History ==
The term "LesBiGay" first arose in the 1990s.
== Flag ==
The LesBiGay flags were designed by an anonymous individual on December 21, 2022. The first flag features the community lesbian flag, the bisexual flag, and the simplified ocean gay flag, in triangular sections. The second flag features the aurora lesbian flag, the bisexual flag, and the turian/veldian flag, also in triangular sections. The third flag features the aurora lesbian flag, the bisexual flag, and the turian/veldian flag as well. However, instead of being sectioned off into triangles, the flag is composed entirely of horizontal stripes. Four stripes from the aurora lesbian flag were placed at the top, a brightened version of the bisexual flag was included in the center, and four stripes from the turian/veldian flag were placed at the bottom.
The flags were made with solidarity purposes in mind, but may also serve other purposes, such as representing fluid attraction, people who use all three labels, those who are questioning, and anyone else who feels represented by the flags.
== Controversy ==
The initialism "LGB" has been used in recent years to intentionally exclude transgender people from the LGBTQIA+ community. However, the term is also sometimes used to indicate that transgender people are simply not the group being discussed, without attempting to exclude them from the community.
