    2SLGBTQI+

    I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

    Gay people talk shit about it 24/7, it’s becoming a fucking joke of a name.

    Edit: Random fucking morons attacking me and calling me a bigot, you are truly a bunch of imbecile.

      Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think even the LGBT+ community gets annoyed with it. It’s the media that seems to want to keep adding letters to this ever-growing acronym.

      In my opinion, it just makes the whole thing seem more like a joke to the people who want to find reasons to dislike the movement.

      Numbers and letters over the years:

      “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”

      Galations 5:14

      “Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions.”

      Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7

      “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

      Jeremiah 4:22

      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)
