    2SLGBTQI+

    I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

    Gay people talk shit about it 24/7, it’s becoming a fucking joke of a name.

    Edit: Random fucking morons attacking me and calling me a bigot, you are truly a bunch of imbecile.

      Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think even the LGBT+ community gets annoyed with it. It’s the media that seems to want to keep adding letters to this ever-growing acronym.

      In my opinion, it just makes the whole thing seem more like a joke to the people who want to find reasons to dislike the movement.

        People who are homophobic or transphobic don’t care what terminology we use. We could literally only use the word “gay” and they would absolutely continue to hate us.

        Also, the use of progressive terminology originates within the queer community. 2SLGBTQ as an acronym began being used specifically to acknowledge two spirit people, who have faced a great amount of racism and queerphobia even from within the queer community. This term was neither invented by the media nor popularized by it.

      I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

      Numbers and letters over the years:

      “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”

      Galations 5:14

      “Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions.”

      Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7

      “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

      Jeremiah 4:22
