What is Lgbtq?
1.
<queer 1> I'm going to go to the LGBTQ pride parade.
<queer 2> LGBT...*Q*?
<queer 1> Yeah, the Q stands for queer.
<queer 2> You know, "queer" means "LGBT etc" on its own, so that's completely redundant.
<queer 1> Yeah, but my internalised homophobia and self-hate's manifesting itself as an obsession with being ultra-PC, so I feel like I have to include every possible word for non-
straight when I just mean queer.

During an orientation for new students in the masters program in social work at CSULB, LGBTQ was used and everyone said "what's the Q for?" I guess they were afraid to actually use the word Queer, so they said "it means Questioning, as applied to young people, questioning their sexuality."
Ah well, it's too late now to transfer someplace else
We counsel the entire LGBTQ population on coming out day.
