LGBT is sufficient, but if you really must, then go with LGBT+, or maybe simply "queer"* as the umbrella term. Anything beyond that is ridiculously excessive and completely unnecessary.
*in the reappropriated, non derogatory context, obviously.

The word queer is superfluous and it doesn't even exist in my language....

"Queerio". Now it does. You're welcome.

Well...from Christians I appreciate more this outspoken honesty
rather than cold phoniness.
You have no idea about me at all do you? One of the biggest problems we have is all the diversity folk wanting special recognition. I'm T and would just like the whole business to go away.

You are not the only T. (Metta). The whole business is going but it is not yet gone.
Yup, you nailed it, Jumi.
lol...nice
but I still don't get what "queers" are
do "queers" prefer beavers or snakes?

Reality is infinitely complex. How far is "too far" in acknowledging this fact? Especially when it involves how people see and understand themselves? And how you see and understand them? Are they really asking so much of us in asking us to respect their individuality?

"Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or cisgender. Originally meaning "strange" or "peculiar", queer came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century." - Wikipedia

No.
Don't let's stop.
Let's show just how individual we all are.
And since our sexualities are as individual and unique as our fingerprints, let's try and help the World to understand and accept this.

Too far happened a long long time ago as did insanity I believe we are in the ludicrous phase now.

I think that is sarcasm. It will be only confusion if we continue on this path. Everyone wants to get noticed for being unique...cool.
Can you imagine the forms people would have to fill out in the future? There would be reams of characteristics you would have to check off to make sure you were just you. It would be anarchy.

People just get ridiculous sometimes. Or plan on using it for a musical.

There it is , the musical.
But people care too much about what other people like or don't like. Live and let live.
It will be a fine day when we just accept everyone as a person.
In general, I only care about a person's sexual preference if I might be interested in being sexual with them. Other than that, they can be who they want to be/are.
Gender is always a matter of social norms, and I don't mind people transgressing such social norms.
The problem is that for way too long, people that are different have been ostracized, deemed legally suspect, called insane, etc. That needs to stop and we just need to accept people as they are.

Yeah. I usually say LGBTQ since queer (both those identify as queer and flamboyant gay men) and transgender individuals, so far I read, threw the first modern Stones during Stonewall. I think before that whent he first Gay Rights Movement, it was started around feminism when women weren't getting equal treatment and acknowledgement in the GLTB (rather than LGBT) community.
I did a project on its history and it is very very extensive. One member here on RF mentioned even transgender shouldnt be part of it (unless he or she is LGB) but historically, they are.
I didnt know there were more letters until I saw it on the internet. Outside the internet, how did they find means to add other letters? on the news? they they advertise it?
