    LIVINGSTON COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES COLLABORATIVE BODY Health and Human Service Needs ADULT FACT SHEET LGBTQ+ in Livingston County September 2019 What does LGBTQ+ stand for? LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning. These terms are used to describe a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The + sign is inclusive to all other terms used to describe a person’s sexual orientation and gender identity. You can find definitions for these terms at the following link: https://bit.ly/2srceH4. Why is this issue so important to Livingston County?
