How does everyone feel about changing the forum name to LGBTQIA?

I feel it would be more inclusive.

Please give feedback. And kick for visibility. Thank you!

I'm all for inclusivity especially in the light of all this LGBTQIA kick the deplorables are bent on now.
Maybe we can crowdfund one way tickets to Russia for some of the most vocal of the ilk, even better if we can bring our endangered LGBTQIA there safely here in exchange. This country would be a better place.

Thanks for your vote!!

Yeah, you know what I love about Democrats? They aren't trying to kill me or people like me. Hyperbole? Nope, the suicide rate for us is way higher than the average.

As I mentally read through the letters, they organized themselves into lyrics to the tune of Camptown Ladies:

L G B T Q I A Doo-Dah Doo-Dah
L G B T Q I A Doo-Dah Doo-Dah

Written in 1850 by Stephen Foster, the song’s original lyrics are racist as shit but I like my mind’s reuse of the catchy tune. I can see someone completing the lyrics into a song that will cause racist southern heads to explode.

I just don't like the constant tweaking of terminology.
It will never be perfect.
