To ask what this stands for

[Cath2907]

LBTQI+

I am used to LGBT but not at all sure what the new letters stand for:

Lesbian, Bi, trans....something maybe?

It is on a website I am reading and from context I think it is there instead of the LGBT I am used to.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, then Queer, Intersex and ‘others’ who may identify outside the considered norms but don’t fit into one category.

Queer, intersex? No idea tbh

Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LBTQI)

I thought Q was for questioning, but I may not be right!

LGBTQQIAAP stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies and Pansexual, with all others under the umbrella of Queer.

How is queer different to gay?

I’m interested in how queer is different to gay.

What is an Allie?

It's like watching Countdown

Allies/Allyship: The action of working to end oppression through support of, and as an advocate with and for, a group other than one’s own.

Queer: One definition of queer is abnormal or strange. Historically, queer has been used as an epithet/slur against people whose gender, gender expression and/or sexuality do not conform to dominant expectations. Some people have reclaimed the word queer and self identify as such. For some, this reclamation is a celebration of not fitting into norms/being “abnormal.”

It’s questioning not queer.

There’s two Qs one for both Queer and Questioning

Surely this is taking the piss!?
I have my head in my hands!

Whichway......that’s made me snort 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a parent of a B and a Q... I don't care what bundle of scrabble letters they choose: they're my kids and I love them.

DC1 chooses Queer because that's easier than gender-neutral pan-romantic assexual.
