Originally created in 1997, the Homosaurus vocabulary is an international linked data vocabulary of LGBTQ terms that is currently maintained by the Homosaurus Editorial Board.
To acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians).
Gay men of African descent born in the United States or gay men born in African countries who live in or have a strong connection to the United States. Use for individuals who self-identity as African American. Follow the individual's preference for African American or Black whenever possible.
