Why is everything LGBT and not a simple homosexual? I don’t know how many more letters have been added to the alphabet soup of homosexuals but to me it doesn’t matter. They are homosexuals and are suffering a mental illness.
They are not necessarily homosexuals because a transgender is a man who wants to be a woman and vice versa who is/are not necessarily attracted to people of the same sex.
Then you have the bi-sexuals who can go both ways, which make them not just homos.
Mental illness is varied and cannot simply be described with one term.
