I'm all for equal rights and the efforts taken to ensure them, but seriously, how many more fucking letters and symbols are we going to tack onto LGBT?
I feel like I'm Kudos-ing everyone on this thread but so many things I agree with.
Yeah this does wear me out about the gay community sometimes. If you are not "straight", you are "gay/lesbian" or "bi". "Asexual" for people who feel nothing. "Transgender" isn't related to sexuality either, although I'm not debating whether it should be included, I don't mind either way.
I feel like all these categories for sexuality and gender just confuse people. "I'm pansexual, and I am male, female, everything and nothing at the same time." Ok you're doing. Too. Much.
@FatAndFaithless - I don't even know anymore because there's so many unicorn identities now "I" can be a few things. My best bet would be "Intersex" (which actually is a real thing).
Also any not-straight person who calls themselves "Queer" needs to have a seat.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
