    • 4-5pm? 1 fucking hour?! I'll need 3 hours alone to memorize the fucking acronym...

    • it's reached self-parodyGnash
    • Even it's fake, or made by someone very ignorant. transexual and transgender are always grouped as trans*, polyamorous or allies have never been part of it.sr_rosa
    • Sounds like a seizure.detritus
    • What in living fuck is a 'polyamorous ally'?detritus

    • haha emphordetritus
    • Inclusiveness? They forgot straight.
      ********
    • Elementary teachers learning about polyamory? Ooookay... also, powaqqatsiGreedo
    • Might be parody, but where I live we now have LGBTCU. C = curious and U=uncertain. Thinking being that the uncertain should feel welcome too.Muncher
    • "How to lose a Pres. election training" Monday June 6HijoDMaite
    • Obviously not real.bklyndroobeki
    • why, obviously -- because it's ridiculous?Gnash
    • It's ETFO, the same board that wants to rename schools because Sir John A was a racist (and, you know, the first PM).i_monk
    • @sr_rosa: "Allies" is found in some variants: https://en.wikipedia…i_monk
    • Whitby of all places! They should have at least included Gothmugwart
    • so did anyone find out if there will be snacks?PonyBoy

    • whitby, ontario :)Gnash
    • Many of the labels do not belong, especially when speaking about young people. Pretty creepy actually.bklyndroobeki
    • @i_monk: Sure, there's ignorant people everywhere.

      Why not add ‘straight men that got too much beer that night’?
      sr_rosa
    • The idea that everyone who isn't straight is "a community" and connected as one is just as ignorant, but it's the dominant belief.i_monk
    • Whenever I drink too much I fall asleep.
      What community do I fit into? #FailedRapists?
      detritus
    • @i_monk: We are not a community meaning we all live together naked in the woods.

      But we build a community to be stronger fighting together.

    • Creating associations, and come together in an inclusive way is not only a tool for political fight, but has been also a question of survival.sr_rosa
    • There was a symbiotic grow in the LGBT community with the deaths — and social stigma — associated with HIV/AIDS.sr_rosa
    • Grow meaning the need to be together, to build a community, to create associations and such.sr_rosa
    • *Growthsr_rosa
    • I'm talking about the assumption that everyone who isn't straight is automatically part of a singular monolithic community.i_monk
    • There are straight allies.bklyndroobeki
    • @i_monk A ‘singular monolithic community’? Never heard something like that in my entire life.sr_rosa
    • It's implied with every "the LGBT community" and every time an individual is referred to as "LGBTQ" instead of gay or lesbian or bi or whatever.i_monk
    • @i_monk Ok, it's something you imply. As I wrote, community is formed around defending our rights, so in that context, referring someone as LGBTQ seems legit.sr_rosa
    • It may also be used as an individual to identify as part of that community without having to disclose any specifics about personal life or preferences.sr_rosa
    • Communities existed well before activism for equal rights started. There's more to being gay and the history of being gay than activism.i_monk
    • @i_monk Nothing you said conflicts what I said. Communities as social groups are not exclusive. I just pointed out that LGTBQ as a single and united community...sr_rosa
    • ...was born around activism.sr_rosa
    • I think that LGBTQ is a political term. But I'm not sure. i_monk I know that you've been wanting to delete the BTQ for a while now.bklyndroobeki
