When searching for LGBTQ+ as a subject you may need to utilize a variety of search strategies. Here are some search words and phrases that may help you find useful resources. Some of the search terms may be outdated or offensive. Please know that the Library of Congress is always working to update and change these, but the process takes time: asexual people, bisexuality, gay, gender expression, gender identity, homosexuality, intersex people, lesbian, queer, sex customs, sexual orientation, sexuality, transgender and transsexual. For more resources, try Homosaurus. Using a keyword search for LGBTQ will generate many results.
