We need to add an S (LGBTQS), so that straight people have an equal opportunity to be discriminated against.

I find the term 'straight' discriminatory. I have scoliosis and a bend.
I prefer non-LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ : it's catchier.

When I was young, "bent" was a slang term for gay men, although they weren't called gay back then, they were homos or queers. I wonder what they will be called next.

Oddly that's true for when I was young in another nation, thousands of miles away.
It's funny that straight is good and bent is bad, in that schema.
I mean, you want some thing straight and some things bent. Knives and spoons, sitting and standing, pool cue and english.....

I used to joke about that actually, that in the alphabet soup up ahead in parts yet explored, we would encounter unexpected islands of heterosexuality, akin to hypothetical stable heavy atoms yet to be produced in a laboratory having islands of stability. I told this to a friend and he scoffed asking what the hell I was talking about, best of luck finding that there.

It's obvious the whole LGBTjfdiyhvdstt system is poorly predicated. It is either inclusive by heing anti-straight or has to be gay in some aspect each and everytime. Lesbians are gay default so no real difference.... so should be GBT instead of LGBT. But then.... do T's really count? Just some gay guy wearing a skirt, that's not even biological but a product. Try being a tranny in a nudist colony. Maybe if you mutilate yourself but thats superficial. Bye bye Ts. GBs.

But even with Bisexuals.... you just choose to do both. It's still gay.

So in the end it's just G.

better, just Q. It was perjorative and used against gays, but it came to mean anything not hetero, not CIS, as they now say. Owned by Qs and now seen as positive by some, negative by others, in perfect symmetry.
That seems like a nice umbrella term. Makes it easier for everyone, whatever their opinion on sexualities. It's amazing that the yearning for efficiency hasn't led to this neat boiling down. Everyone on earth would save time in the debates.

I get why G might not seem inclusive to some letters. But Q? Perfect.

And it's not one of the common letters, so we all get on the same page immediately.

I'm not a fan of any flags of any kind, but perhaps a reduction to Q would calm down the further complexification of sexuality flags and their seizure inducing unpleasantness.

And why would anyone want to be associated with pastels?

I'm uncertain if Q exists or counts, purely on a level of Predicate Logic. You don't think Q then tingle G. It isn't a morphology. You can't half ass sodomy. Either it is in or it ain't. But role playing or flirting it isn't something seperate either, just a beginners stage of the same thing.

Gay was just an old fashioned word for happy when I was a youngster. I wonder if it will go back to meaning that after the LGBTQs have decided they don't like it any more.

That reads almost like a metaphysical poem. I'm not sure it makes any sense but it has a nice sense of rhythm.

Q

How many forms of gay are there? The insanely stupid is limitless. This is where commonsense and reason are out of fashion and Feelings trump facts, welcome to the feminized world.

I remember in Elementary school, on the playground during recess, myself and the other boys would call things or others 'gayyyyyy' and the longer the gaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, the gayer it was.

So maybe it's like a sliding scale?
