Simple, uncontroversial question (I hope) that has probably already been addressed somewhere... |
|
This forum is labeled "GLBT," however, most posters here refer to the "LGBT" community. Which is correct? I don't post here very often, but I have posted my support for gay marriage, and it always gives me pause when it comes to thew acronym. :)
Small minds are easily confused...

10. Can you imagine what this place would look like without us? |
|
I mean, the decor would be great but it would be falling down around our ears.

3. Why care? It's unpronounceable so there isn't a real acronym |
|
to worry about, and every member of the community is oppressed as a second class citizen under the law.

4. Why care? Because it matters to me... |

Thanks for the technical point on acronym...

7. If they said "GBLT," they could be called "Giblets." |
|
Why did it take a straight guy, who has no dog in this fight, to come up with such an elegant solution? Hello, Giblets! Hope your lives are gravy!
