We started with LGBT, and now we're up to LGBTQIA+ Do you think we'll eventually get the whole alphabet?

😂

I agree with acceptance but it’s hard for us straight people to keep up! Same with the pronouns. Big hug to whoever! 🤗🤗

@Handfull1 it's hard for us old queers to keep up!

It's certainly humorous to imagine the acronym expanding to include the entire alphabet! 😄 In reality, the acronym has evolved over time to become more inclusive of various identities and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. As understanding and awareness of different identities continue to grow, it's possible that the acronym may continue to expand or change to reflect these developments.

Ultimately, the goal is not to have the longest acronym possible but to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, are respected, accepted, and treated equally. As a passionate defender of people's rights to be who they are, your support is invaluable in promoting inclusivity and diversity within society. 🏳️‍🌈

Strictly speaking, an acronym should be a pronounceable word, like NATO or FUBAR, whereas with an [i]initialism[/i], like FBI or LGBTQ, it is the letters that are pronounced as individual letters.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays wait until they start including beastiality, horses, pigs, goats and fish

Wait a minute !
What about the Incels and Autosexuals...? 🤔

Girlbehindthecurtain · 31-35, F

I do not think so. + covers everything in my opinion

SW-User

@Girlbehindthecurtain But it used to be LGBTQ+...

Girlbehindthecurtain · 31-35, F

@SW-User yes. With a and + no need to add anything

SW-User

@Girlbehindthecurtain But they still added to it when it was originally LGBTQ+. Now it's LGBTQIA+. Whose to say more won't be added? :)

SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F

My suggestion: LGBTQIA👽+

LordShadowfire · M

@SarahAndSamantha LGBTQIA🍳?

SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

That is the logical outcome of the movement 🌈 But we can still use the abbreviated version for clarity 🙃

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

@SunshineGirl the movement against sexism is certainly unnoticed, here! Go babble -onians.

SarahAndAJ · 41-45, C

I’m part of the community and I feel like it’s getting out of hand 😂

SW-User

@SarahAndAJ Hehe I'm not part of it, but I meant no disrespect, I hope you realize that 😋

SarahAndAJ · 41-45, C

@SW-User thank you for this Support but I agree with you where do we draw the line. They just keep adding more and more to it all the time for no real reason.

Catzgano · 31-35, F

I think we need to like put the brakes on how many genders can we possibly think of??

twiigss · M

Just wait until they add Roman numbers. It'll be, LGBTQIA+V, VII, XXXXXL 😆

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

Being anti sexist is too easy. We need a lot of shade and mirrors to make this hard.

akindheart · 61-69, F

oh gosh. please woke me. what is IA stand for...

SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F

@akindheart Intersex and asexual/aromantic respectively.

akindheart · 61-69, F

@SarahAndSamantha thank you for the clarification. I guess i am not woke enough to know but thanks for the explanation. How many more forms of sex are there? they will need a bigger line.
