more like just stay in your lane..   no need for the world to bend over backwards or genuflect at the whim of anybody that does not fit the standard definition .. do your thing..  and shut your trap,  nobody really cares what you wear or what your choice of lifestyle  is 

the "alphabet" squad is not owed or entiteld to anything special  ..    

 

Totally agree. We should all get excited and have lengthy and deeply emotional discussions about a string of alphabetic charcters and which is correct.

 

I'm all in! For about 5 microseconds.

 

You'll have to carry on without me though as I am engrossed in this thing called a 'life' and can't spare the time for such semantic nonsense.

Why give credit to trump? The entire world has become sick of the hysterical games.

What amuses me is that no matter what title / acronym people use the fact is that gay people exist and in much bigger numbers than most realize, world wide. 

 

Trump and his gang seem to be hoping they can rid the USA of homosexual people in the military, in government and in daily life. They just show their ignorance.

 

Also in the 'mix' is that folks like trump, and all in his party, just don't know who might be gay in their family, their company, amongst their friends, this generation, previous generations or next generation, whether out or not out, and probably in their ignorance have never thought about it.  

 

Changing the acronym back to a previous version is also showing their ignorance. 

You have totally missed the point if you think its about getting rid of gay poeple

I'm old but had to fill in a form the other day. The usually stuff, Name, Address etc. Then Male, Female, etc, then a box 'Identify as Something Else' and 'What do you identify as'.

Us taxpayers payed a group of people to have meetings and come up with this line of text on a form.

If the movement would have stopped at Male, Female, Gay, Lesbian, I supported that but to keep going, now identifying as something else went tooooo far and of course there was going to be a backlash.

Don't particularly like Donald Trump but he's got some good ideas.

The acronym is not "LGBT." It's "LGBTQIA+"

And that's why it became a laughing stock.

What Trump and his sycophants are trying to do is move us backward to when even LGs were treated as outcasts, and denying the existence of any such thing as BTQIA+s... 

No, just back to reality. Before the woke gender nonsense. You are just making wild hysterical conspiracy's from a derangement level of warp factor 6

No, I am "woke." And, yes, that is equivalent to moving forward at a "warp factor 6" when Trump and his supporters are still trudging along on impulse power, and worse than that, they are going backward.

In a way I agree. It's not about getting rid of LGBT people (although there are a number of pond dwellers on here who would like to), it's about slowly removing their hard fought rights. Vile Christian nationalism is on the rise and they want revenge.

Tick the box "male". Is that so hard?
