Help please

[Julie Gaum]

Having an awful time trying to post - must be doing something wrong - obviously. Will try a fourth time: Over the years familiar
with the term "lgbt' but recently the 'q' was added. Know it means queer but what seperates it from first four letters?
Stupid me

LGBT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[RachelPortugal]

It does not stop with the Q, there is an even longer abbreviation:

LGBTQIAP+ An acronym that stands for: Lesbian; Gay; Bisexual; Transgender; Queer; Intersex; Asexual; Pansexual; + (meaning "not limited to")

I copied the above text from a support site, I tried pronouncing LGBTQIAP+ without saying the letters individually, it's impossible for a native English speaker, maybe there is some other language on this planet using the latin alphabet in which it is possible to pronounce 5 consecutive consonants before a dipthong then another consonant and a mathematical symbol, but in English LGBTQIAP+ is an abbreviation not an acronym. All acronyms are abbreviations but not all abbreviations are acronyms. Rant over, sorry.

I just refer to it as the alphabet community.

Just add a few more and than you can just call them people or human's. LOL.

If you can't laugh at your self .....

All it is really a bunch of those trans ,intersexed etc got pissed off and felt like they weren't included.
Poor little SJWs must have had their feelings hurt.
You know the baby that cries the loudest get all the attention.
I have pretty much lost the desire to be connected with the LGBT because their higher ups have made it all too political.
The Q was added maybe 10 years ago or so.

If you are going to be a warrior for something, social justice would be the most justifiable thing.

[Tracii G]

April if you treat people how you want to be treated yourself there would be no need for social justice.
Just because you are trans,gay or whatever doesn't mean you have the right to demand more than anyone else.

If you are going to be a warrior for something, social justice would be the most justifiable thing.

A warrior protects the people of his home, regardless of race, gender, or any other thing.

You don't give your life to defend social justice. You don't storm the beaches of Normandy for social justice. Without getting into politics, a real warrior defends everyone. A social justice advocate only defends those they deem worthy.

Shrugs...two completely different things

[Tracii G]

I feel like that too Michelle.
The SJWs seem to only be for the people they side with or that agree with them.

[Devi SM]

We don't ask for extra rights but the same the rest have without to ask for it.

Traci, you said:

"April if you treat people how you want to be treated yourself there would be no need for social justice."
Ater you said, "Join Date

All it is really a bunch of those trans ,intersexed etc got pissed off and felt like they weren't included."

I'm one.of those that cry for equality with the rest of LGBT.
Homosexuality was removed from DSMIV on the sixties, just this year the transsexual, trasgender too.

PRIDE
When you're really a trans, or gay or LGBT will understand what PRIDE parades mean. I'm pride to be a human bring I'm not ashamed of being trans, and I want to show people that I'm a normal no pervert person.
Unfortunately, when you had been in the closet.for many years and you're release, you're happy you want to celebrate with PRIDE, more pride if you weren't released but you found yourself the way to leave the closet, I'm very PROUD of it.
To end, remember what I'm saying now, in 30 or 30 more years to talk about LGBT.... is going to be so ridiculous as to talk about slavery now and that will be thanks to all those that cry....

This thread has gone from asking about the acronym LGBTQ (which has been answered) to something more political. Just a reminder to all, it's against the rules to comment about politics in the MTF forum. Too much to edit. Closing the thread.
