@bijouxbroussard I would like to thank you for not being sarcastic. i should have waited for your answer, so you could get best answer right away.

I can see it can be challenging to type the four letters into a google search. One of the first search results would be Wikipedia explaining it...

I just want to know what the q is?
@DaveyTaco Why did you delete my reply? I wasn’t being mean. In the LGBTQ the Q stands for Queer or Questioning. That’s a real answer. Please don’t assume that a person is slanderous. I’m so not that.

Civilities: What does the acronym “LGBTQ” stand for?
By Steven Petrow
May 23, 2014

Q: Lately, I’ve been hearing the acronym LGBTQ. I have heard the second Q means “questioning.” Is that right? And does that imply that the person is uncertain as to his orientation or something else? ~Anonymous

A: This is a great question and one that I was even asked by one of my new editors here at The Post. I think many of us in the community take for granted that everyone else will understand this acronym. Not always.

In fact, the ‘Q’ can stand for ‘questioning’ or ‘queer’ and sometimes you may see the acronym written as “LGBTQQ” (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer]. When the Q” is used as a stand-in for questioning, you’re right that it means the individual is uncertain of his or her orientation.

@DarkHeaven Well, q wasnt mentioned by anyone else so i was a bit lost. No, i didn't assume, it was just a misunderstanding.
I read the post but I know the reply here was expanding on the original question. Just made me sad. I’m openly bisexual and would never prejudice. Light & love. ✌️
