[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#00009d]You know for LGBTQ, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, LGBTTQQIPP2SAAA, and so forth.

Asexuality is usually classified either under the umbrella term Q for queer, or as one of the As in the above acronyms.

L-Lesbian
G-Gay
B-Bisexual
T-Transgender/Transsexual
Q-Queer/Questioning
I-intersex
P-Pangender/pansexual
2S-Two spirit
A-Asexual/Agender/Allies

If I am wrong, then between this and the LGBT CR&A group I don't know where to post this thread. There is no LGBT+ groups here.

I don't mean to cause any problems, and if the posters here feel this doesn't belong here I am more than willing to delete.[/font]
