Yeah, I'm pretty clear on that, and like I said, not a problem because I never refer to them that way anyway...I never thought it was that offensive, I avoided it because I thought it was outdated. Also vague. When they added the Q to LGBT I thought it was redundant too, but though, well, maybe that'll catch all the other Others. Fat farkin' chance, now *everyone's* got to have their own letter just like when they were kids they all had to have their own trophies.
Back when it was only four (there were two Ts for a while as -vestities and -sexuals both wanted top billing, before the monosyllable) a lot of people dutifully permuted the order ... GBLT, BTLG ... and even in the mention on here that ticked me off they were alternated, T/Q. Q/T. That is just so compulsive.
I've never understood even why lesbians don't like being included under "gay." Gay men, gay women, what is the problem.
But that ever-lengthening acronym is just stupid, people of wildly differing interests and goals who have little to do with each other.
I hope you know I can tell the difference between an externally created name and a deliberate reference to gay people in general.
