I also like it for its meaning, especially that it encompasses more than just gay and lesbian, since there are so many other non-conforming ways of being. Although the sound of the word is a little bit slur-ish to me. It sounds to me like something “wrong” or not as it “should be”. I imagine that’s due to one or several of:
it has a harsh sound
my bias/prejudice
it sounds kind of like the “square” in “be there or be square”, to me 😅
just overall connotation maybe
But either way, if that’s what goes, I’m more than happy to oblige. I want to be a cis straight male that sets an example for others of my kind — one of respect and friendship, regardless of who you are. In honor of my grandfather, RIP.
