/lgbt/ is the LGBTQ board on 4chan, an English-language imageboard. Launched on March 18, 2013, it was 4chan's first board devoted to a social issue and the first safe for work board devoted to the LGBTQ community. Due to its predominant transgender demographic, the board has been nicknamed /tttt/.

Common topics include gender identity, transition, politics, and passing. Though much of the discussions on /lgbt/ involve personal advice and support, they also sometimes involve hostility and transphobia directed at other transgender users.
