When addressing an individual that is either Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender or a part of any intersex communities, there is terminology that is and isn't okay to use. These fall under the category of Positive Terminology and Negative terminology. If negative terminology is used towards another or more importantly, towards someone within this group, it can make the individual feel very degraded and worthless. When using such terminology, our community needs to be careful on which words we choose they they could be hurtful, disrespectful or derogatory.
