Questioning is a term used to describe individuals who are exploring, learning, or experimenting with their sexual or romantic orientation, or gender identity.[1] Questioning can describe both the process of exploring one's identity and the individual who is doing the exploring. The letter "Q" in the LGBTQIA+ acronym can sometimes stand for both "Queer" and "Questioning".[2]

Controversy

Perceptions and discrimination

A common phrase used to diminish the feelings of LGBTQIA+ young people "it's a phase"; in particular, it is often used to describe individuals who are experimenting or questioning their identity or orientation.[5] As a result, people who are questioning may be excluded from the LGBTQIA+ community, or may feel as though they do not fit into the community, despite knowing that they are not cisgender heterosexual.[6]
