It is counter-productive to our communities to further fragment our joint messages.

LGBT - is just fine --

[+ José Soplanucas]

We should use Queer for all.

[bigvalboy]

We should respect all...

'Kink' is a very large community though, so its inclusion could result in more allies.

From the article

"

According The Gay UK, the full acronym is now: LGBTQQICAAAPF2K+

 

Breaking this down, the letters stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Agender, Ally, Pansexual, Polysexual, Friends and Family, Two Spirit and Kink."

If this is true and not satire-we are becoming a caricature.

Queer sounds derogatory . I prefer "FRUITY"..... It sounds soooooooo "Healthy" !

Except KINK is VERY pervasive in STR8 society as well, and this aint about STR8....

[+ José Soplanucas]

I still like Queer. It is the only one that intrinsically challenges the status quo whatever the status quo is. All the other labels have become normalized little boxes tolerated by Hetero Patriarchy.

Not 'except', the inclusion of heteros was basically my point. There are plenty of people under the 'LGBTQI' banner who consider themselves straight (mostly amongst the 'TQI' bit), so unless you prefer to restrict the acronym to 'LGB' some are already included. Sorry, let me rephrase. Some STRAIGHTS are ALREADY included.

Another expression rendered meaningless...just remember everyone has a letter! (Or was that "everyone is a dreamer!"?)

Cant us GAYS have anything just for ourselves ? Let the str8's get their own acronym.

What about something simple like

 

LGBT+ or Queer+

Just cock, thank you very much!

Queer seems more inclusive than LGBT+. The latter seems to imply a core group with some stragglers.

"Kink" is neither a sexual orientation nor a gender identity. It is simply a subjective label for an enormous range of activities which anyone can engage in occasionally, even unwillingly. Leave it out, or else the group identity becomes so amorphous it is not worth a label.
