words cannot express how much i’d like to see the lgbt*qia*p acronym replaced

• most of the public only says lgbt which is really really limited
• theres a lot of confusion over what the a* stands for (hint it’s not allies but people seem to think it is! sigh)
• it’s really! really long! and it’s awkward to say and type 
• it doesnt include a lot of identities!
• it leaves room for cishet people to shove their way in

something like gsm (gender and sexual minorities) would be ssooooo mcuh better

• theres no confusion over who’s included in this group (everyone who isnt straight and cis is a minority), cishet people are rightfully excluded
• it’s an “umbrella” term; people whose queer identities are not in the old acronym don’t have to feel excluded 
• it’s really concise! it’s way easier to say and type and you dont have to worry about excluding people by which version you use
• also easier for people to remember 

like. let’s do this. let’s make it happen. please 

Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities

GSRM

+ Not a super long acronym.

+ No room for cishets.

+ No “A for ALLIES!”

+ Includes all minority gender identities, such as trans*, bigender, genderfluid.

+ Includes all minority sexualities, such as bisexuality, asexuality, pansexuality.

+ Includes all romantic minorities, such as panromantic, aromantic, homoromantic.

a lottttt of people REALLY don’t appreciate the ‘minorities’ bit of that acronym, and instead, GSRD (Gender, Sexual, Romantic Diversity) is being suggested i think i’m not sure
