      When Republicans call us stupid, this is the reason… Seriously, they are adding numbers now…

        No it’s not, it’s adding random extras to the acronym. LGBTQ covers the range. Add the + if you really want to. Anything past that and it’s baiting ridicule and defeating the purpose of an acronym.

          They are not random letter and numbers, they represent groups not included in Queer.

          It’s also Canada focusing on indigenous peoples for its inclusion in the list. 2S is usually at the front in Canada.

      I’m done adding to it. Instead, I’m waiting for when sexually rigid and prude people are the minority instead, so that eventually “LGBTQ2…” becomes “regular people” and the prudes are the ones singled out as different.
