    I’ve been saying for years if we just said queer and trans we could pretty much capture the whole thing. In a lot of ways I think straight cis folks and corporate culture are some of the main drivers of the alphabet soup acronym because they can’t imagine saying queer.

      in addition, its okay to just say lgbt. none of us are expecting people to remember that whole thing

      i typically say lgbt+ cuz i like being positive (hehe), but it matters much less than some folk will make it seem

        • for other categories doesn’t suffice, we also need * to represent, by wildcard, those that don’t fit any category, as well as - for those who fit the other letters/symbols but don’t want to identify with the rainbow mainstream (say, gay folks who aren’t fans of gay marriage)

          yeah so anyway i say lgbt+ or lgbtq+ to include everyone because nobody actually complains about my support

          -sincerely, nikki, part of the lgbtq+ community
