GLBT is Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transexual. As for GLBT travel, I'd imagine it's along the lines of visiting other places for the purpose of participating in the place's GLBT scene.

LGBT,或GLBT,是用来指称女同性恋者(Lesbians)、男同性恋者(Gays)、双性恋者(Bisexuals)与跨性别者(Transgender)的一个集合用语。它被认为比「酷儿」或“lesbigay”拥有更少的争议。
它有很多变化存在,包括了只是改变其字母的排列顺序。如果没有包含跨性别者时候,它就变成LGB。它也可能加入两个Q来代表酷儿与异议者(questioning),变成LGBTQ与LGBTQQ;加入一个I来代表双性者(intersexual),变成LGBTI;加入另一个T来代表变性者(transexual),变成LGBTT;加入一个A来代表支持同性恋的异性恋盟友(straight allies),变成LGBTA。如果以上全部都包含进去的话,就变成LGBTTIQQA,不过这种用法极为少见。须要注意的是,有些人认为变性者与双性者这两个名词可以用跨性别这个大名词来涵盖,然而许多变性者与双性者是反对这种观点的(各有其不同的理由)。同直联盟(Gay-Straight Alliance)组织常常使用LGBTQA来取代LGBT,最后两个字母代表了异议者与异性恋盟友。
到2004年为止,LGBT已经变成一种非常主流的用法,以致于它得到多数女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别社群中心以及大部分英语国家里同性恋刊物的采用。
然而,LGBT并非完全没有争议。有些跨性别者并不喜欢这个用语,因为他们不想与LGB有任何瓜葛,有些LGB也为了相似的理由而不喜欢加入T这个字母。有些双性者希望使用LGBTI,理由很明显,但是也有些人(包括了双性者与非双性者)争论说双性者没有理由被归入LGBT这个些人里面,更有些双性者觉得将他们与LGBT连结是对他们的一种冒犯。
