Main Section

This section of Sexual Diversity is a place for LGBTQ+ people to submit or read personal stories such as coming out and acceptance, gender equality, and stories of Pride and Diversity. LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the initialism, as well as some of its common variants, functions as an umbrella term for sexuality and gender identity.

The LGBTQ community is an integral part of the fabric of today's society. Some people are out and involved, and some are out and not as involved. Meanwhile, others are living a life of anonymity.

LGBT history dates back to the first recorded instances of same-sex love and sexuality of ancient civilizations, involving the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) peoples and cultures around the world. What survives after many centuries of persecution - resulting in shame, suppression, and secrecy - has only in more recent decades been pursued and interwoven into more mainstream historical narratives. Literature broadly is any collection of written work, but it is also used more narrowly for writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry.

One of the most popular genres of literature, fiction, features imaginary characters and events. This genre is often broken up into five subgenres: fantasy, historical fiction, contemporary fiction, mystery, and science fiction. Below you can read various personal stories, or you can submit your own LGBTQ story.

NOTE: To read or submit a story of a more sexually explicit nature, see our erotic stories section.
