It definitely throws people off, especially the cisgendered queers. Saying queer instead of lgbt or gay helps people who are not in the gender binary and if I’m being completely honest a word like bisexual is trans-exclusionary, just from my personal experience bisexuals do not want to have sex with trans people, the ones that do are called pansexuals. Don’t even get me started on how much of the lesbian community is terf reactionary because they don’t want to associate with trans people. The gay community same deal. And why does the l at the start of the acronym? Why not TPGNBL or something else? The whole acronym order is the main reason why I’m using queer. How can we be equal if we put specific sexual groups in front of each other? Queer is all encompassing and we should use that instead. If we could change the pride flag we could phase out lgbt.

Weak.
The only struggle that needs to happen in lgbtq+ is the one between the bourgeoise side and proletarian side. The bourgeoise side is the one pushing the woke capitalism and rainbow imperialism while the proletarian side is the one pushing back against that.
Lgbtq+ doesn’t need to be abandoned it needs to be given class consciousness of the two sides of it and their characteristics.
I also like using queer as a general catch all. It’s simpler, is more inclusive in general, and means I don’t have to think very hard about codifying my own gender/sexual identity into specific terms. Pan vs bi? Whatever I’m just here to fuck and accidentally develop feelings at an alarming rate
