How to Create a Good LGBTQ+ Group Name
Keep the following tips in mind when creating your group name:
- Make sure your group name reflects its members. LGBTQ+ groups are often inclusive of a variety of gender identities, but not always. Be as specific as necessary; if your group welcomes all identities, use basic phrases like “Gender and Sexuality” or “LGBTQ+. If your group is specifically for people who identify as “Non-Binary,” for example, use that term in your name to make it clear. If you need some ideas of words you should or shouldn’t use, see the glossaries from The Trevor Project and the Human Rights Campaign.
- Use terminology carefully. The LGBTQ+ community is diverse, and opinions within your group may differ regarding the use of some terminology, like “queer.” Be sure to get input from your group members to figure out what they’re comfortable with and make sure your group name doesn’t alienate anyone.
- Consider your tone. Similar to the previous tip, you’ll want to make sure that your group name isn’t offensive to anyone in the group. If you are naming an advocacy group, in particular, your name must reflect your group’s purpose and inclusiveness. A joking name like “Putin’s Nightmare” might be great for a group of performers, for example, but would not work for a campus or advocacy group. Again, it is a good idea to get input from current or potential group members once you choose a name, and before you begin printing those flyers and t-shirts!
