Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
There is enough confusion over labels without creating a whole new tier of definitions which are questionable in their definition and purpose.
Some of us cannot be, and do not wish to be restrained, locked into, oppressed and insulted by a list of words cobbled together over a weekend seminar on post-modern sexualities by people whom we have never met and do not wish to meet, obsessed with labelling rather than defining, sowing discord and despair rather than bringing people together in the cause of common justice, without regard to their sexuality.
Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
I'm calling it LGBT. I'm not changing anything up when they add a new letter what seems like every year
Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
Pretty sure there will just be tons of gay jokes with this acronym. Would be nice to have a different acronym to cover everyone since the LGBTQIAPD+ is basically just going to spell out the alphabet eventually, but I don't think this is a good acronym. "Mo-gay"

Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
I prefer the acronym i made, GASNC (gaz-nic): Gender And Sexual Non-Conformity. But hey, whatever works for you!
Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
GASNC does sound like a new brand of antacid, but I agree that simpler is better. If we need a term to cover all these things what's wrong with simple English like alternative sexuality?
Re: MOGAI instead of LGBTQI+
Or we could just say queer and cover everyone.
