Urgh, this is what I hate about PD.com, it is the only site in existence where a perfectly good spam thread can be misused for high quality discussions.  I hate you all.

I tend to GSRMI. Gender, sexual, romantic minorities, and intersex. Sort of a catch-all and less of a mouthful. I've never included allies in that label, mostly because I've never thought about it. I shall, though.

That's LESS initials, and is therefore unacceptable.  Acronyms are supposed to GROW and PROLIFERATE, not shrink.  Otherwise, you could just go to NT (non-traditional) and call it a day.

So would I, because that would mean the norm has changed enough to include us painlessly. But until "what are your pronouns?" is in general etiquette and no one bats an eye at the sexuality sphere, there's going to be one by necessity.

Except that the distinction helps perpetuate the necessity.

Just saying.

Maybe we should write in to faux and tell them lgbtqaaixyz community is discriminating against heteros by not letting them in their pride parade. Then we can all abandon ship and let them go around in parades dressed flamboyantly.

I've never once heard of anyone being excluded from the pride parade.

In fact, when I was in Boston, we stopped by at the pre-parade demonstration thingie, and people were very nice.  Of course, we were hassling the "counter-protestors", which might have bought us slightly more courtesy.  But I doubt it.  I think they would have been that nice if we'd shown up with signs around our necks saying "Help!  I'm lost!  Who ARE You People?".

That is true, I fully admit. But dropping them right now is really not going to be of any use because there are particular issues that affect all of the GSRMI community that don't touch other groups. We need the ability to give a name to the people who are specifically affected in order to protect them legally and explain the social issues that make them a vulnerable group.

Although there are probably Pride parades that do exclude allies, I don't think there are very many.

Oh definitely. Heterosexuals in fact dont get excluded. But it would just be kind of funny to hear them want to be part of the alphabet soup on account of their persecution of the majority complexes.
