Question
Further to WQ99782, in which the Cabinet Minister stated 'we remain committed to working with LGBTQ+ communities to ensure the language used is inclusive', could she explain what she means by the + in the answer?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)
The “+” serves as an inclusive term, denoting a diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities not explicitly represented or fully captured by the letters L, G, B, T, or Q, and beyond those explicitly listed in the Equality Act 2010.
