WHAT IS LGBTQ+?
The LGBTQ+ acronym refers to the community of people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (or Questioning). The plus sign (+) denotes other sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions that the initial letters do not explicitly cover. The purpose of this acronym is to encompass the diverse range of identities within the community and promote inclusivity. It is crucial that we celebrate and support this inclusivity.
In recent years, as queer representation has improved in the Korean entertainment industry, quite a few K-Pop artists have come out as a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Check out some of them below!
