I just don’t get this kind of behavior in the 21st century when we now have all the science, it’s not like something that will just go away like a fad. When people deny their true feelings or selves, real bad things can happen, something I’m sure the church has a lot of experience with. Go ahead and bury your head in the sand Malaysia, but LGBTQIA+ is normal, ignoring reality is NOT
LGBTQIA+
Is there not a term we can use before this thing grows too long to remember? (It’s already too long for me.)
Explicit inclusion is implicit exclusion. Say “queer”. ‘Gender and Sexual Minority’ if you think queer is a slur.
Queer has been recommended and then researched by me, so I’ll use that as that seems acceptable.
Explicit inclusion is implicit exclusion.
Could you explain this mind bender?
So if we say who is included (lesbians gays bisexuals and trans people) everyone not one of those things is excluded, only by keeping close to those things can you be included even if you’re otherwise queer.
The logic of exclusion persists in cultural and institutional memory as well as being personally a piece of shit, as we see with modern groups dropping the T from lgbt, or the ‘acronym too long’ types who aren’t concerned so much with the acronym itself
That’s a verbose way of calling me a piece of shit. 🙄
I was just trying to find a term that was easy to remember, as well as inclusive.
People suggested “queer”, I will adopt “queer”. 👍
Have a great day.
You literally asked. Unless you’re one of those “lgb BUT NOT T” people. Then yes, total piece of shit.
Jesus Christ.
Have a good day. I’ve already been helped to be inclusive by other, nice people. Please take your unwarranted and unwanted hostility elsewhere.
I was under the impression that the Q part works as an inclusive letter for everyone not in the first ones… Or maybe the + but still.
Yeah the Queer part seems to be the umbrella term, which includes both people who are not included in the other letters, but also those which are included. So that kind of makes LGBTQ a recursive initialism, and the + also seems redundant, as well as the LGBT part when you think about it. 😅️
But anyway, I think queer is a great word for it. It’s almost “queen”, just with the thing cut off at the end there.
Yup its queer
That’s a fair point I think, it’s getting pretty verbose and frankly muddles the issues a little bit. I suppose gender diversity would be a good one but the word diversity has been witch hunted. Human sexual spectrum is still a bit of a mouthful too.
gender diversity
Human sexual spectrum
Still easier to remember than that letter soup 😅👍
