transcription: open letter to the lgbtq. dear lgbtq, you are the most inclusive community i know. it is an honor to hang with you. i think it is time to step up your game and add one more letter. s as in straight. -slgbtq supporter.

THE STRAIGHTS ARE AT IT AGAIN. putting the s at the front of lgbtq is by far the straightest straight person thing i have ever seen

    It does make me wonder why the L is placed first and the whole thing isn’t alphabetical or something.

        This. Good on you. Only learned this this year.(Again, possibly)

        Also, phonotactics.

        Gbltq reads like fblthb the lost. Same for most other orderings. Might just be my warped view, though.

      IIRC the acronym was originally GLBT then after the AIDS pandemic it was changed to LGBT to thank all the lesbians that helped out the AIDS patients

      It’s ordered by volume, there are more Lesbians than Gay people I guess.
