Note
A plural that exists only because the initialism can name a person: one individual is an LGBTQ, so several are LGBTQs, with a plain -s and no apostrophe. The same letters also work as an adjective, and there they never take the ending: LGBTQ people, LGBTQ youth. The final letter is read two ways, as queer or as questioning.
