Terms for LGBTQIA+ People

I, as the author, identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but I recognize I cannot encompass every shade of the rainbow. If you are LGBTQIA+ and have any issues with the terms I have used, I welcome your critique.

Acceptance

These terms are accepted as normal language by groups all across Corivin even if the term is not used by that particular group

Animal Names

All of these terms are known normally as animal "types" and groups. They are never meant to call the LGBTQIA+ person animalistic. They are rather used thanks to the origination of these terms being from a group of LGBTQIA+ Hunters who thought that the terms were from important animals and, thus, stated the importance of LGBTQIA+ people
