• The A commonly refers to elements of the queer community that start with A (e.g., asexual, aromantic, and agender people). Historically, the A was often defined as including allies, so that both allies and closeted queer people could attend LGBTQIA meetings without the latter outing themselves. Some groups now define the term as referring only to people who are directly part of the community, to the exclusion of allies.
