Gay: A person who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to members of the same gender.
Transgender: An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at birth. Being Transgender does not imply any specific Sexual orientation. Therefore, transgender people may identify as straight, gay, lesbian. bisexual, etc.
Bisexual: A person emotionally, romantically or sexual attracted to more than one sex, gender, or gender identity though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way, or the same degree.
Questioning: A term used to describe people who are in the process of exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Homophobia: The fear and hatred of or discomfort with people who are romantically or sexual attracted to members of the same sex.
Heteronormative: A worldview which frames heterosexuality as the standard sexuality. This is created through repetitive representations of heterosexuality and heterosexual relationships in our society. An example of heteronormativity is the assumption that people are heterosexual unless they “come out”. Another example is how non-heterosexual relationships are expected to be similar to traditional “heterosexual” relationships (i.e., labeling one partner as the “man” of the relationship, expecting couples to want marriage/children, etc).
Gender Identity: One's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or either. How individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender's identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.

Gender non-conforming: Gender does not adhere to gender expectation within the binary model.
Preferred gender pronouns: Used during introductions, becoming more common in educational institutions. May suggest removing the "preferred," because it indicates flexibility and/or the power for the speaker to decide which pronouns to use for some else.
Pansexual: A person who experiences sexual desire or attraction that is not limited to people of a particular gender identity or sexual orientation.
Outing: Exposing someone’s lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender identity to others without their permission. Outing someone can have serious repercussions on employment, economic stability, personal safety or religious or family situations.

"In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. Such raids were not unusual in the late 1960s, an era when homosexual sex was illegal in every state but Illinois. That night, however, the street erupted into violent protests and demonstrations that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world."
"Out in the Night is a documentary that tells the story of a group of young friends, African American lesbians who are out, one hot August night in 2006, in the gay-friendly neighborhood of New York City. They are all in their late teens and early twenties and come from a low-income neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey. Two of the women are the focus - gender non-conforming Renata Hill, a single mother with a soft heart and keen sense of humor, and petite femme Patreese Johnson, a shy and tender poet."
