LGBT collectively
refers to "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" people. The term
"LGBT" is an adaptation of the initialism "LGB", which itself started
replacing the phrase "gay community", which many within the community
in question felt did not accurately represent all those to whom it
referred.
The term LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of "sexuality and gender identity-based cultures" and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual instead of exclusively to people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender.
The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority "sexuality and gender identity-based" community centers and media in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. Even in the Philippines, the term LGBT is also used by journalist and writers when they refer to the gay community.
