Seeing that some villains are trying to take the T out of LGBT so trans people get erased and ignored. You know that the word "queer" is right there and it includes all of us perverts and freaks, right? We tried hard to get queer to happen, but the straight folk didn't like it so they call us LGBT, like we're simply a list of approved aberrations. And a lot of us queer folk have submitted to this linguistic oppression. I am sad every time I hear a queer person say "LGBT" or "LGBTQIA+" or whatever, because that's accepting the oppressor's language for us. Queer is a good word because it includes everyone who isn't part of the sexual majority. It is inclusive by default and by definition.
For anyone who thinks "queer" is a slur so they prefer "gay" because it's not a slur, I'll point out that only a couple decades ago "gay" was a slur and we said "homosexual" to be polite. Language evolves. Embrace "queer" and avoid having to figure out what groups deserve to be part of an abbreviation.
