I can't surely keep track. I get lost after the Q.

No way in my fucking life I'll be able to remember all of that. I'll need a cheat sheet.

I guess it's pretty discriminating that some orientations get more letters than others, one even is allowed to have a number and potentially many more have to share just one single +. Why not use only the + for everyone? ♥️

This is why most of us just use 'queer' nowadays, even though it's not very accurate in some ways for some people.

Personally think GSRM should be more popular. Its short and includes everyone, and isnt making a a hidden declaration that some minorities are more special by having their own letter (thus the reason for appending more to the alphabet soup)

We believe it was coopted by pedophiles or they tried to claim it for themselves or join in with using it in some way, so sadly there's a lot of baggage which comes with it and why any in the know don't use it.

Thanks for teaching-me-about/reminding-me-of that acronym.

I've been advocating for the adoption of "people with minority Sexual Orientations and/or Gender Identities" ie "SOGI minorities" or "SOGIm".

I think I still prefer " SOGI minorities" because it's inclusive, and the acronym sort of stands on it's own e.g. I recently learned my province has SOGI curriculum as part of the school system. It's not just about SOGI minorities, it's about helping kids understand what gender is, and isn't.

I do like how GSRM articulates the difference between sexuality and romance though.

Yeah, that's why people should just settle for queer.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

Queer is slightly contentious in some ways (and we don't mean it having been a slur previously), but yeah, generally better.
