2SLGBTQIANBP+ or LGBTQIANB2SP+
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? ♥️
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)
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.
