"G.L.B.T." doesn't roll of the toungue, from henceforth....

[Fire]

they shall be known as "GiBLeTs." What do you think? Eh?

Maybe I'm just lazy.

[sui generis]

1. "they"?

how 'bout just "people", etc?

[Fire]

8. Don't take it the wrong way

I'm just playing.

[tjwmason]

2. Gravy anyone?

It certainly does not flow, I confess that I tend to say 'gay' and hope that lesbians feel included.

Welcome to D.U. :hi:

3. No way.

It took me a year to learn not to say GBLT without my friends laughing themselves silly at me. I told them it was the association, good sandwich/good friends but still... now I say it right so we CAN't change it now! Sheesh, I am too old to keep up with it all.

14. MuseRider . . .

Does your sig line trumpet have an embedded language in it? What does it say? Am curious.

15. It is a clarinet

because that is the instrument I play in our symphony. I do not know if it has language, never even looked for that lol. Perhaps I should, just in case. I saved it some time ago and recently found it among my saved stuff and decided to use it.

[TaleWgnDg]

17. Ah-ha! Yes, I like the looks of it too . . . am wondering, though,

if it is some language?! If you find out, let us know, k?

[davidinalameda]

4. you're lazy

:bounce:

you forgot to included queer, questioning, etc

[Terran]

6. When did "queer" get added?

I just saw that recently and thought, "Ok, I am now officially too old to keep up."

[Fire]

10. What does queer mean anyway?

isn't GLBT and there rest of that a complete subset of queer? I thought queer just mean gay.

[davidinalameda]

16. we're reclaiming the word queer from the phobes

and little old British ladies

[Fire]

9. alphabetsoup

Well if we include everything then the acronym would be alphabetsoup

not to offend any G.L.B.T.T.Q.Q.N.B.M.F.X.Y.Z.'s out there.

[sans qualia]

5. G-giblets or J-giblets?

[southernlad]

7. I love it...

even posted it on my blog.

11. Additional benefit...

I finally watched North By Northwest from beginning to end the other day. During the dinner scene with Eva Marie Saint on the train, Cary Grant orders a Giblet.

Connecting something tp a Hitchcock film in some way is always a good thing.

[Malikshah]

12. was it a giblet or gimlet (as in vodka?)

;)

13. The proper term is "sexual minorities."

It is simple, unpretentious, accurate and utterly inclusive.

Also, the rest of the world won't wonder WTF you are talking about.

[tedzbear]

18. But who are the "e"???

everything sexuals?

[tedzbear]

19. Actually, it's interchangeable, depending on your persuasion...

lesbians prefer LGBT.
Trans prefer TGLB
Bis prefer BGLT

Me? Being a man, I prefer GLBT.

Someday we will get together and select an all encompassing name like Rainbow People. That should piss off the Christian radicals, heh?
