Firstly, WTF is LGBTAIQ2S+?. Secondly, I haven't experienced any more bigotry here than I would on any other social media platform.
This is the first time I’ve seen this one. Best result I saw from 30 seconds of googling:
From the article:
Crap, we're actually supposed to read the article?
A terrible idea by the LGBT community to expand the definition, when they thought they already "won" the battle and wanted to expand their scope, completely ignoring how marginalized the trans community was at that point, and how much was still left to fight for LGB rights. People quickly objected and most threw away the dumb acronym.
I kinda thought the ever-expanding acronym problem was being informally solved by a gradual transition to just saying "Queer."
I am not a member of any of the groups that would fall under that categorization though, so I may be wrong.
It's tricky ... many people do use "queer" as an umbrella term, but a lot of trans people don't like being lumped under that, and some lesbian, gay, bi, and agender people don't consider themselves queer. There aren't great answers.
