This document discusses key information about the GLBTQ community:
- Between 5-10% of people identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning. Being GLBTQ exists on a spectrum rather than a binary.
- Common terms like gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender are defined. Being transgender does not necessarily equate to sexual orientation.
- Research like the Kinsey Scale showed sexuality exists on a continuum rather than absolute categories. Factors contributing to sexual orientation are still not fully understood but believed to involve biological and environmental influences.
