LGBTIQ is the international abbreviation for 'lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer' and is a group term for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or have intersex or queer characteristics. LGBTIQ people are affected by stigmatization and social discrimination because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. They have an above-average risk of depression and addiction. Awareness campaigns and information aim to promote health, prevent illness, and protect this vulnerable target group from social and health discrimination.
