Simple, uncontroversial question (I hope) that has probably already been addressed somewhere...

This forum is labeled "GLBT," however, most posters here refer to the "LGBT" community. Which is correct? I don't post here very often, but I have posted my support for gay marriage, and it always gives me pause when it comes to thew acronym. :)

Small minds are easily confused...

10. Can you imagine what this place would look like without us?

I mean, the decor would be great but it would be falling down around our ears.

3. Why care? It's unpronounceable so there isn't a real acronym

to worry about, and every member of the community is oppressed as a second class citizen under the law.

4. Why care? Because it matters to me...

if it doesn't matter to others, so be it.

Thanks for the technical point on acronym...

7. If they said "GBLT," they could be called "Giblets."

Why did it take a straight guy, who has no dog in this fight, to come up with such an elegant solution? Hello, Giblets! Hope your lives are gravy!
