That's like four too many. It splits the base.
Hello there 
Q is probably for Queer.
A - Asexual (?)
What does the "I" stands for?
There is "T", it's just that it's merged with the word "Thread".
However, let's be honest here, the thread is really about gays and bisexual males. IIRC there were like two lesbians who posted here for a while and one panasexual member. Transgender people already have their own OT in Offtopic Community.

Intersex...Hello there

Do I have to go over the full abbreviation again? It is, in full:
Queer/Questioning
Undecided
Intersex
Lesbian
Transgender
Bisexual
Asexual
Gay
There being variants on "LGBT" doesn't mean the term is changing. Just depends on the context and how inclusive the user is unintentionally or intentionally being.

And although the T merges with Thread in the title, KillerIsJed was referring to the first post (not the title) saying "LGB".
That is also a valid answer.

I watched it because Danny Robert is in it (he was the gay guy from MTV's The Real World New Orleand and actually the main reason I was OK with being gay when I was a teen).
The show was very enjoyable and it's supposedly coming back for a second season but I'm not so sure anymore.

Nope. Unless he/she really don't care about you.
That's the problem. I don't know if he's still like/care about me.
But he's still searching for me for conversations.

How does everyone feel about the ever growing abbreviation? It is now LGBTQIA.
Also, I find the lack of T in the OP concerning. Just completely dropping the T and saying LGB.
Anywho, I'm 26, bi, partnered, poly, Ohioan. I run a gaming website for LGBTQIA, feminists and allies of those groups.

LGBT is fine. There's no sense in obfuscating the issue so that everyone can feel like a special snowflake.
See, it always happens, fans get a bit smug when their favorite platform is doing well. And they also get bitter when their favorite platform is struggling. That thread combines both
I don't know why I let myself to be drag into those threads.
The mixed critical reception of Knack pushed some fans over the edge, so of course they are going to jump into a thread about Knack outselling 3D world, even though is only about the UK and most of them aren't even near the island.
And the port begging... urgh, I don't know how I contained myself.
Só yeah I'll rather stroll here even if it's flooded by Dailey pictures.
I fully agree, I don't even get the need for something like a "pansexual" label, the whole thing gets too confusing and we already have enough problems with straight people confusing sexual orientation with being transgender.
I don't think it is that complex, we know what binds us as a group.

I wonder if this platform wars bullshit will simmer down in a year or so. I hope so. Gaming side is downright intolerable because of it.
This.

1. Because they make the best games out there but they can't play it because those games are on platforms that they don't want to touch because they are underpowered
2. Because their artstyle is too kiddy for them, they need more "mature" stuff.
Are you calling me a Nintendo fanboy?
I'm just a simple person who doesn't try to find the meaning of life or stuff like that. I may not get what you are into but I'm glad you find something like that entertaining.

No man of course not. It's just that lately Gaming Side has been really terrible and dangerous.

I love them. Reading those 25+ people fighting because of mere toys is very fun.
Ok, I'm kind of biased because I love Nintendo but I'm not a fanboy at all.

Gays love Nintendo.
Nintendo awakes the most intense passions at the very least. When people hate Nintendo they really hate them. You never saw a "fire Kutaragi" when the PS3 wasn't performing that well. The fact they recieved actual threats is mind boggling. Supporters are just as passionate.
But yeah guys in speedos, they look fine specially when they don't look like 12 year Olds you know what is a very underrated sport by the gay community?, water polo. Swimming, diving, rugby are very popular but in my opinion water polo is just up there, if not higher.

The hatred toward Nintendo seems to be completely irrational. From reading the gaming forum, it seems like lots of people will never be happy unless Iwata commits seppuku on the next Nintendo direct.
Have you guys played ALBW yet? Its one of the best games in recent memory.
Nintendo is this company that in the dawn of HD gaming, kicked everyone's butt with a repurposed GameCube. Basically, Nintendo told those people "lol, graphics don't matter" and then proved it. It's easy to see why rabid fanboys would be bitter at Nintendo, especially coming from "the king" PS2 to Wii dominating PS3. Fanboy logic is not really complex or anything
I'm right before the final dungeon. It's been amazing so far. Probably would give it a 9/10.
My uni's LGBT society uses "LGBT+", thus recognising all the alternative alternative sexualities, without extending the acronym too far.
When Grindr has half the functionality of Hornet, I'd agree. : P
Why do people feel the need to call themselves "gay" just to be a special snowflake? People feel the need to extend the LGBT acronym to be more inclusive of the people who don't neatly fit within it, the same way that the LGBT acronym exists to be inclusive of the people who don't fit within heteronormative conceptions and/or representations of people in general.
While I am not too clear on the difference between "pansexual" and "bisexual" myself, I believe the former exists for people who do not define their romantic or sexual partners by a gender binary. As such, a bisexual person might refer to their sexual orientation as being "attracted to men and women", whereas a pansexual person would say that they basically fancy "people".
Say that to the lesbians who initially wanted in on the gay rights movement in the 50s (and, as if often the case, bisexual people today).

Imagine waking up to this:
Swoon.....
I still don't understand the difference to be honest.

From what I understand, people who identify as pansexual find attractiveness to any not only type or sex but also gender and gender identification. They might like someone make female, m to f trans or f to m trans and anything in between the larger spectrum of gender
Edit: I also like the idea of LGBT+ maybe we can use that in the next thread
Double Edit: excuse if it sounds problematic. Also typing from iPad derpness

Basically the difference between bisexual and pansexual people is that pansexual people could be attracted to basically anyone as long as they felt an emotional connection with the person, while bi people are more limited in their attractions, basically it'd be either men and women but liking men more than women or viceversa and they may or may not be attracted to trans people.
At least that's how I understand it
This is something that I thought it was offensive because is calling trans people not really "women" or "men" but some third sex or something.

Stuffed crust is a sin against god!
AFAIK, bisexuality more or less presumes a gender binary - people (whether they be cis or transgender) are men or women, and a bisexual person is attracted to both.
Pansexuality rejects that gender binary. The difference may be smaller in practice than in theory.
Maybe your concern is with how chronos4590 worded it, but I don't think that rejecting the gender binary suggests that.

Thin crust pizza is the only real kind of pizza.
Also, re: pansexuality, I hope it gets to a point where it and bisexuality end up pulling a merger. I'm definitely pansexual, but not in the sense that I'm particularly attracted to trans over cis or anything - I just don't associate attraction with a particular gender, is all.
Now, that being said, does anyone here not exactly understand the genderless aspect of the spectrum? It probably doesn't help that the most vocal supporters are tumblr's worst and not-so-brightest, but I understand transsexuality, but the idea of someone wanting to completely avoid gender as a concept just strikes me as really alien.

Can you have sex with it?

Now that you guys mention it I see it :x. My wording is off on it. But I think and hope the message was made fairly clear. That regardless of sex or gender they find attraction and love with who ever they find attractive and create a loving bond.
Oh I didn't mean you were being offensive, more like some trans people can feel offended by it. I personally don't think is offensive but what would I know.

Bisexual people are more attracted to one gender than the other, right?
