Question

To ask His Majesty's Government which abbreviation they prefer to use when referring collectively to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

The Government uses the term LGBT+. This reflects the breadth and diversity of the community as well as the preferences of most LGBT+ people. This term also resonates with language used by international partners and institutions. Whilst this is the Government's standard terminology, there may be occasions where it is appropriate to utilise variations that reflect a different focus.
