Alphabet Soup
Check this out:
"The gay rights movement has added a few more letters onto its
initialism: LGBTQIA. LGBTQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual. The new acronym
allows the sexuality and gender identity-based community to include
individuals who may not conventionally identify themselves as a man or
woman." From the The University Daily Kansan (University of Kansas)
Let me add three more, OMG! Renee Richards (78) on Katie Couric this week said something to the effect the transgender word wasn't even invented when she was young. Hopefully Renee will be around this world long enough to see the entire alphabet not included in descriptors for our culture. Furthermore I disagree with the first sentence: gay rights movement and transgender being lumped together at all. That's the subject of a whole other post and a whole other alphabet.
