LGBTQIA+ — THIS GAY MAN DIDN’T ORR THIS BOWL OF ALPHABET SOUP
Gog over-board wh addg letters to the tradnal "GLBT (Gay/Lbian/Bi-sexual/Trans)" acronym to attempt to clu every non-homophobic possibily. GLBT alphabet soup n bee a very long, nonsensil acronym. It be nonsensil that is rndant. Queer, for example, is a rather broad term that has already been vered by the GLB part of the acronym. Trans-genr and transsexual are close enough to the same thg that 's safe to jt refer to those people as "trans". Qutng is ridiculo, bee don't take that long to figure out if you're gay or straight. Most people know their sexual orientatn at a very young age. Alli shouldn't be clud the acronym bee, as much as gays appreciate their support and openns, they simply aren't queer. The whole pot of the origal GLBT acronym is to have an all-clive term to scribe queer people, not their fan club. Intersex is too tailed for the acronym; as prevly stated, the very purpose of the GLBT acronym is to have a universal, simple term to refer to queer people. There n be more letters add, but the example of the GLBT alphabet soup is enough explanatn of the rndancy of this term." name="Dcriptn" property="og:scriptn * gay alphabet soup *

Plenty of other gay men repeatedly tell me that they, too, want to return their soup to the kchen.
Some appld this term, but I nsir the uglit homophobic slur — the N-word agast gays.

Gay men never bated nor voted on this. Countls gay men are trated wh beg associated wh blogil mal who clare themselv transgenr, “intify” as femal and then trounce blogil femal at swimmg petns, track meets and other athletic ntts.
This disgts many gay men who also worry that when transgenrism generat to “We’re g for your kids” terrory, pats bullsey on our backs. We do not need the transgenr crowd to rerce among nervo parents the ugly stereotype that if you scratch a gay man, out pops a pedophile.
Fortunately, only a small, rotten sliver of gay men ever abe ltle boys. But this fact blurs when normal gay men get shoehorned to the same “inty” wh the stars of Drag Queen Story Hour and the ant transgenr who crave immediate accs to 5- through 8-year-olds Florida classrooms.
