We added races to the flag though. Intersectionality is the way.

And there's a reason my generation embraced the word "queer" because it encompassed anyone gender nonconforming without demanding that they define themselves. Trans, gay, nonbinary, ace are all gender nonconforming identities in some way.

As a Gen X, "queer" still makes me wince internally since I remember when it was only a slur and hadn't been taken back. But I'm glad it was!

Yeah I'm the tail end of Gen X and "genderqueer" also still makes me wince, though I understand the reclaiming. I much prefer genderfluid. It just sounds so nice lol

Well not really. Its a fallacy. By adding more and more it becomes more and more ridiculous. To the point that the lgbt community who was once shunned by a religious majority. Has now become religious in turn to try and accomodate every single group that is perceived as weak.

There's a big difference between weakness and oppression, and you would do well to understand that.

Sincerely, someone who is LGB and religious
