I've long believed that the crucial advantage of the term "queer" over the acronyms is that it acknowledges that diversity is not something you can exhaustively enumerate. we must be always prepared to embrace diversity that we hadn't considered before. this is the most consistent inclusivity
@lewdum I agree with this, but as someone who started identifying as NB in their 40s and a staunch order Muppet, I’d also love to have a word that clearly conveys my sexuality when people ask. I’m still attracted to the same set of women and femme-trending individuals, but “straight” isn’t right anymore and any other answer is either confusing to cis/straights (“bisexual” to mean “women and NBs”?) or, like “queer,” unhelpfully vague. So people ask and get a paragraph-long explanation.
