2SLGBTQI+

I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

I’ve been saying for years if we just said queer and trans we could pretty much capture the whole thing. In a lot of ways I think straight cis folks and corporate culture are some of the main drivers of the alphabet soup acronym because they can’t imagine saying queer.

in addition, its okay to just say lgbt. none of us are expecting people to remember that whole thing

i typically say lgbt+ cuz i like being positive (hehe), but it matters much less than some folk will make it seem

  • for other categories doesn’t suffice, we also need * to represent, by wildcard, those that don’t fit any category, as well as - for those who fit the other letters/symbols but don’t want to identify with the rainbow mainstream (say, gay folks who aren’t fans of gay marriage)

yeah so anyway i say lgbt+ or lgbtq+ to include everyone because nobody actually complains about my support

-sincerely, nikki, part of the lgbtq+ community

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think even the LGBT+ community gets annoyed with it. It’s the media that seems to want to keep adding letters to this ever-growing acronym.

In my opinion, it just makes the whole thing seem more like a joke to the people who want to find reasons to dislike the movement.

Gay people talk shit about it 24/7, it’s becoming a fucking joke of a name.
Which is apparently working, looking at the upset boomers in comment chains like this one.

People who are homophobic or transphobic don’t care what terminology we use. We could literally only use the word “gay” and they would absolutely continue to hate us.

Also, the use of progressive terminology originates within the queer community. 2SLGBTQ as an acronym began being used specifically to acknowledge two spirit people, who have faced a great amount of racism and queerphobia even from within the queer community. This term was neither invented by the media nor popularized by it.

Except you attack everyone the same, so fuck off.
every time you complain about it we add more
There are four letters in the headline of this article. Is that too many for you?
In 2026 it will be 13 letters.
it’s going to be 10000 letters, bigot
BREAKING: China’s new Bureau of Gender has announced 121,890 new genders. Furthermore, the PM announced yesterday “Every Christian church in Shanghai will be replaced by a gay club.”

my gay friends totally think you’re silly, that’s why you have to police your activism to appeal to me.

Fuck off.

you are quoting something I did not say, you too, can fuck right off to an eye exam.

You never heard of paraphrasing?

Illiterate and bigoted, name a more iconic duo.

“My name is @[email protected] an rainbows make me cry!”

You named yourself after a washer as best I could tell, not quite sure what point you’re trying to make. Are you also gonna bump your name out a bit to get with the times or are you gonna grow old and mad with the years?

“Halp Im being called out for my shenanigans and now im entering damage control!”

I love how people like you piss and cry over LQBTQIA+ which is an 8 letter acronym but managed to learn the 26 letters of the English alphabet and didn’t act like a whiney piss baby then.

I bet you’ll be able to tell me encyclopaedic knowledge of either gaming, sports, TV, movies or programming though depending on your interests though.

Go learn to think man baby.

LEARN THE FUCKING ACRONYM!!!

I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

Numbers and letters over the years: Galations 5:14 “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7 “Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions.” Jeremiah 4:22 “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

I finally achieved it folks! I finally got to see a reactionary get ripped apart live in here!!!

I love the LGBTQ+ acronym because it pisses off assholes
All of you trans people are hateful.
