The LGBTQ+, which stands for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (the + sign signifies new groups of people that become part of this evolving community) have come a long way when it comes to fighting for equal rights and being accepted as part of the community. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 5.6% of the US population identifies as part of the LGBTQ+. This is an increase of 1.1% since 2017.

If you want to represent this community by starting a business, organization, group, team, or through a group chat, here are some name ideas organized by category. Let’s show our pride and get started.
