Tropico 4,145 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 LGBTQA is the correct one; Lesbian, Gay, Bis-xual, Transgender, Asesxual & a few hidden ones like pans-xual demis-xual etc OT: i thought that NYC would have it bc of all the fashion publications, gay bars, drag shows, Fire Island and more tbh The full acronym would probably be something along the lines of: LGBTIAPDQ but that's SO long So I guess LGBTQ+ is simplest. oh sorry i missed that haha Queen as in Drag Queen What? im positive that it stands for queer (which is an umbrella term for anything which isn't heteros-xual cisgender). ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmm 979 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 oh, and what was I again? I am so embaressed to be here, being a gay and not knowing There's no need for you to know really; being aware of an acronym doesn't make you a better or worse person. On topic: Weird article that they came to the conclusion that NYC has the most gays; like what sort of unnecessary and completely obvious observation - do they really expect "more people = more gay people" to be new information .

Alii 2,039 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It stands for Queer. Can you please explain what is the difference between homo and queer? I've tried to search before but they say queer means homo (?), and I've seen gay men calling themselves queers. But if they mean the same thing, then what is the point of Q in LGBTQ if we already have the G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also excludes straight cisgender people, because... well... they don't need that term lol. So no, it's not only men that are attracted to other men who can use that word.
