Comment on What if LGBT adopts a white and grey striped flag to replace the rainbow? Then Florida would have to abolish crosswalks entirely.

The initialism, “LGBTQIA+”, feels disrespectful too. First because of everyone who falls under the “+” not being as important apparently, but second because it’s just a silly sounding name.

I’ve heard “Sexual and gender minorities” or “SGM” as a more academic and professional sounding replacement, and I much prefer it.

Wasn’t the one getting popular the other year ‘GRSM’, 'Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities".

After a while, the acronym just gets too long, especially when you have people complain that their particular group isn’t “properly” represented because their letter isn’t actually included in the acronym other than the “+” and it reminds me of that rap group OFWGKTA with all their ridiculous letters.

I do agree with the “SGM” abbreviation when referring to all groups under the LGBT+ acronym.
