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.
