aren't you worried you might skew the results by putting "queer" right in the title?

― I.C.P. Freely (bernard snowy), Friday, 27 August 2010 13:42 (sixteen years ago)

these some of the variants I've seen -- tho it seems the main contention is whether L precedes G or vice versa

voted LGBTQ fwiw

the addition of queer seems a tad redundant?

― mein voight-kampff (corey), Friday, 27 August 2010 13:47 (sixteen years ago)

uh, i tend to think of 'queer' as a pretty broadly inclusive term, which i guess is why i used it in the title -- and why i only think one Q is necessary

― tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 August 2010 13:48 (sixteen years ago)

oh okay, I can see that

if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a campus group at Harvard called HUGGABLES, which stood (awkwardly) for the Harvard University Graduate Gay / Bisexual / Lesbian alliance?

imo queer covers a lot of things not included in 'LGBT' like hetero kink & BDSM & such? but i do not know if other people also consider those things to be 'queer'

― tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 August 2010 13:53 (sixteen years ago)

HUGGABLES is great!

Don't you want somebody to hug.

G vs L, tho -- i tend to see the leading G more often but idk, male privilege blah blah & i think academic lesbians deserve a lot of credit for conceiving all these categories together as a 'community'? is my impression

― tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 August 2010 13:59 (sixteen years ago)

have been bitched out for querying the addition of 'queer'

it seems to me like queer transcends/includes the other categories and you might just call yr group 'queer'

otoh wtf do i know, being cis/het/male/etc

i like how it looks/flows better i guess?

Was almost going to do this poll too.

― Eric H., Friday, 27 August 2010 15:38 (sixteen years ago)

I've always thought it was GLBT, but maybe that's because I'm GLBT over-the-hill.

I got a stern talking-to for not liking "questioning" but I agree with the people who called me out about it actually

Adding queer can mean "misfits welcome," in the sense of society's misfits. Maybe it should be LGBTM.

I am going to take you all in for questioning

one girl at school used to go around saying lbgtq2 where the 2 stood for 'two-spirit' people

― max, Friday, 27 August 2010 18:18 (sixteen years ago)

huh. I woulda just assumed it meant "two Q's"

― I.C.P. Freely (bernard snowy), Friday, 27 August 2010 18:24 (sixteen years ago)

i was in the class with her where we read about two-spirit people & other native american conceptions of gender/sexuality

― max, Friday, 27 August 2010 18:25 (sixteen years ago)

the 'questioning' thing i don't really identify with but otoh i think it's a good thing if applied in certain settings eg youth centers where u are dealing with young kids who may not want to label themselves as 'gay'/whatever

but i still think one Q is enough

xp i would be interested to know if there are ppl who identify as 2-spirit as opposed to another label!

The final insult: straights are responsible for the alphabet soup, at least at my university.

"queer" all the way. i seem to remember my undergrad university's gay student union changing over time from the "lgbtu" to the easier-on-the-brain "qsu."

I kind of do, in my mind...I know this is really goofy. But when I read about that concept I thought, 'wow...that's me.' It's a private thing I don't really talk about though.

my preferred queer community acronym is pretty much whatever the queer community prefers afaik
