When I went to college, please don't ask how long ago that was, the gay group on campus was a mere LGB group. LGB stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual. Now back in the late 90s, oh crap I just gave a clue on my age! Anyway glossing over that mishap.....So back then we thought this included all of the gay types. (Which by the way I have always thought the term gay included lesbians, but what do I know) Then we added a T for transexual, making it LGBT. That lasted about 2 seconds before we changed the name of our group to Fusion to safely include anyone and everyone that we were forgetting. Confused yet?
Recently I heard it was changed to LGBTQ; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Queer. Ok seriously gays what the hell is Queer? I am guessing this includes all of the super annoying people that "don't like labels". You know these types. They are usually gay, but they don't like to be "labeled", because they still think women are SUPER HOT. Ya ok. Some very annoying "unlabelable" (I think I just made that up, roll with it) people are Ariel from Miami Social, which btw is the BEST new show on Bravo. Please add it to your on demand. Before I move on can I just say that if you are a man named after the Little Mermaid you HAVE to be gay. No ifs ands or buts there super butch Arial. Blake from Project Runway, I mean seriously. Pretty much any celebrity that doesn't believe in labeling themselves; Clay Gayken used to be one, but then he came out (woohoo and big shock I know, but it was for all 8 of his Claymate fans), Ricky Martin (again seriously), and I'm sure there are tons more but I can't think of all of them right now. Oh and apparently Margaret Cho is now queer? She said she was on her latest televised stand up. So if someone could please contact her to let me know what queer means I would really appreciate it, because at this point I just think that queer means fag hag. Thanks Margie.
Ok so we are up to LGBTQ, and I just found out that we added an I? What the hell? I, as I understand it, stands for Intersex. What does that mean exactly? Is Intersex the transitionary period between having something added or removed, you know what I mean don't make me say it? Or is Intersex happily living between two sexes? Hence unidentifiable? If so then aren't they just queer?
Why do the gays make it all so difficult? You know why, it's because every gay needs the new best thing! Lesbian, gay, bisexual is sooooo last season. Well I'm jumping ahead of the curve, and I am no longer gay, but vaginally challenged. Can I make that a word? How about nonotothevag? Or nomuffforme? I'll work on it, but be sure to look for another letter to be added to LGBTQI very soon. God pretty soon it's going to be LGBTQIXCVYUJASOP.
Thank you gays for making labeling so confusing! And they say we aren't judgmental.
Oh a p.s. is needed, because I just looked up intersex, and it is a fancy word for hermaphrodite. Why are hermaphrodites part of the LGBT community? I'm not including Q, because I think it's dumb. Oh gays.....
Luvubitch!
