Heh. I get the idea of being inclusive in the acronym, but, come on. At some point there needs to be some trimming. I mean, writting that is hard enough, but, how in the heck am I supposed to say that without tripping over letters/forgetting stuff?

I was thinking they might add an S for Straight and then we'd just have everyone covered.

So you might say that, at the time, that kind of art had mass appeal in the market.

So, when we say "the market", that has two possible meanings. One is "the market as it is", the other is "the potential market". You can appeal to one, and turn off the other, in the same move.

U is given as undecided in some places.

Oh, I guess that makes sense

Yeah, which is why most folks are fine just leaving it at LGBT, sometimes with a Q or a +, or both. I’m sure there are folks out there who would call it Ace and/or Intersex erasure to leave the IA out, but I’ve never encountered that in real life.

That would defeat the point

As my good friend Foghorn Leghorn used to say, "It was a, I say, it was a joke, son."

Until the other white Southern plantation owner got ahold of him and put him in a bucket.

Why was he a female chicken? A male Rhode Island red is red, not white isn't it?
