Language is powerful and influences many of our interactions. As a health care provider, becoming familiar with terms used by LGBT communities can help provide patients with the highest quality care. This glossary does not have every term used by the community, but includes terms most commonly used when patients are accessing health care. It is important to keep in mind that language can change over time, and so this glossary will be updated periodically to reflect those changes.

The resources, news, and content expressed on this website do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or policies of the Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS), the CRDP LGBTQ TA Center, or the California Department of Public Health’s Office of Health Equity.
