LGBT is an abbreviation used as a collective term to refer to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender persons. While not without controversy, the term is more inclusive than homosexual or gay. The abbreviation GLBT, formerly common, has largely been replaced by LGBT. By 2005 LGBT had been adopted by the majority of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community centers as well as the press in most English-speaking countries. Homosexuality is one of the main classifications of sexual orientation and is defined as romantic attraction and/or sexual attraction between individuals of the same sex. In modern use, the adjective homosexual is used for intimate relationships and/or sexual relations between people of the same sex, who may or may not identify themselves as gay or lesbian. Homosexuality is usually contrasted with heterosexuality and bisexuality. The term gay is used predominantly to refer to self-identified homosexual people of either sex, whereas lesbian is only used for self-identified homosexual females. Around the world, state restrictions and protections regarding same-sex sexuality and relationships range from the death penalty for sexual acts to full marriage for same-sex couples. Among the first recorded laws on same-sex relations ca. 600 BCE are those in ancient Crete and Sparta, which encouraged all adult men to engage in mentoring homoerotic friendships.  GayFest is the annual gay pride festival of Bucharest, Romania, which first took place in 2004 and now occurs in May-June of each year, lasting for nearly a week. It is organised by the non-profit organisation ACCEPT, the country's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights organisation. The festival also receives funding from the Romanian Ministry of Health and the National Council for Combating Discrimination, as well as a number of private organisations, such as the Open Society Institute and the British Council in Romania.
