        Thank you! 2 Spirited was my first introduction to what it meant to be Queer, and it’s pretty cool to see this variation on the acronym.

      You should look up Trudeau rattling off this acronym like it’s nothing lol. He likely practiced a lot in the mirror

        Jesus. At this point can we just say LGBTO and have the O mean Others? It’s getting cringy af, and I’m saying that as a trans person.

          That was the whole point of the “Q”! In fact, we could ditch the LGBT and just stick with a fully inclusive “Queer”.

            I’d love if we could get to a place where the Q encompasses all of the identities. As it stands, it feels like Queer has taken on an identity of its own.

              I’d love to get to a place where there is no LGBTQ+ community at all. That’s what actually winning looks like.

          Don’t worry there are only 107 recognized genders. I’d like to hear any politician throw that one around

            Why can’t those 107 genders fall under T for trans? I feel old for saying this, but if you don’t identify with your birth gender then doesn’t that make a person trans? Why do they need a extra letter on LGBT for it?

          It’s a Native American term that has been in use for thousands of years longer than whatever newbie civilization your ancestors came from.
