In a survey conducted in December 2020, less than ten percent of Japanese respondents were familiar with the term "questioning" and its meaning, while a majority of over 75 percent had never encountered the term before. "Questioning" is part of the initialism LGBTQ+ and describes people who are unsure of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The acronym LGBTQ+, often just LGBT, is an umbrella term describing members of sexual minorities. The individual letters stand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning, with the "+" including an additional and larger spectrum of sexual identities and gender identities.
