      LGBTQ 2 has better graphics, split-screen multiplayer, a customizable interface, and hot-swappable controls. It also supports macros.

      But now you have to pay for DLC maps.

      LGBT was so popular that they made a sequel with 200% the gay

      It stands for “two spirit,” which is an Indigenous term for a gender identity similar to being transgender. Canada has been making a more concerted effort to acknowledge and respect Indigenous views and traditions, so it’s added to the LGBT+ acronym in Canada

        I have no idea what any of this means lol. How’s it different from the T? If they “added” it on, then where did the + go? I’m old and confused and people are just people regardless so I have no idea what is the correct term for anyone anymore, y’all are just humans to me.

          There are a lot of differing opinions on what should be used, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA, etc, etc. I appreciate what inclusive acronyms try to do, but it does get very burdensome for non-queer people. I typically just use “queer”, personally, though you obviously have to be a little careful with that one depending on context and perhaps it isn’t always entirely encompassing. E.g. are intersex people “queer”? They just have abnormal sex chromosomes.

            +1 for the simpler queer term.

            There’s also GRSM (Gender Relational and Sexual Minorities) which I find much more meaningful than LGBTQIA2S+. First it isn’t a mash-up of a load of loosely related terms and, secondly, it also includes D/s relationships or ENM (Ethical Non Monogamy) for example. Sadly it doesn’t seem to be getting much traction anywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Dang, I hadn’t heard of that, but I like it! It’s a shame it isn’t very “catchy” I suppose lol.

            Well imo, to make it easier for people… since the acronym started as LGBT, why not make it LGBT+. It is short and sweet, and less letters to remember.

            Personally I’ve always liked GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities). Unfortunately that probably won’t catch on anytime soon.

              GSRM sounds like a knock off of Grand Theft Auto. Where you cause chaos and crime in some Romanian cities.

            The 2, in this case, is about respecting Indigenous Canadians. I think it’s warranted.

          Trans generally means a man born in a woman’s body or a woman born in a man’s body. People who are trans prefer to be treated as the gender they are inside, whether or not they appear to be that gender externally, just like traditional men would take offense to being referred to as she or her. It’s fine to see people as just people but you should acknowledge that you wouldn’t want to be referred to as the wrong gender and neither do trans people.

          Two-spirit appears to be more of an umbrella term for native American third genders, with no single general meaning. The third gender part appears to be important, meaning they are neither male nor female on the inside, regardless of what gender they may appear to be. Take this with a grain of salt since this is the first time I’ve heard the term and just looked it up. There appears to be some contention around the meaning, so I’m probably wrong.

        I always thought it was for 2A, for asexual and ally.

        Having allies be a part of the acronym is a whole other debate though.

            When did the rainbow go from “it’s OK that some people want to have sex with their own gender” to “you must believe in abstract religious concepts”

      I’m not sure of why anything but Q is involved, doesn’t Queer basically cover everything that isn’t Hetero? Also I thought people were against labels, but maybe I was wrong since everyone seems to want a label now.

          Because talking is what you do on forums.

          Your post and criticism is similarly valueless, as you don’t provide any answers, as is mine

          Sometimes people simply want to engage in the discussion.

            Thanks! I’d never heard of it and my comment asking about it was a bit judgey, but I appreciate the info.
