Sex and Sexual Orientation of NSers

[The Steel Magnolia]

There are more asexual males on NS than straight females, and more gay males than straight, bisexual and asexual females combined (as of this writing at least). I knew NS and even the Internet itself was a bit of a sausage fest, but I had no idea there were that many more men than women.

With regards to the first post, what does QUILTBAG stand for? I know what some of those letters must stand for, but the first three escape me. I remember when it was just "gay and lesbian", then they started adding new groups one by one. I lost track after LGBTQ,. even though I probably should be paying attention.

They have absolutely no place in our little umbrella.

You know maybe if certain people weren't so bent of concocting increasingly retarded acronyms, maybe, just maybe, society would take them more seriously.

Yes because it's the initialisms that make people hate gays.

It doesn't make them seem like a respectable group, kinda like the parades.

This.
Unnecessary backpatting is unnecessary.

I like LGBTQ. Simply "queer" is even better.

why queer and not questioning? (just askin')

Erm.

"Queer" as an alternative to the alphabet soup.

That is absolutely ridiculous, and if you weren't on NS when you said it, I'd swear you were joking.

[Phocidaea]

To be fair, the acronym is expanding fast these days

LGB > LGBT > LGBTQ > QUILTBAG?

At this rate, within a few years we'll be at something like "LGBBQRIBSNERVMLPFIMDPRKNASASPQRETCACANISMAJORIS", as every possible permutation of biological sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation develops its own separate branch of identity politics

I agree in principle, but there's nothing wrong with being inclusive.

That being said however, LGBTQ is pretty damn inclusive on it's own.

I'd rather not be referred to as a "queer". I think it should be "non-binary" or something like that.

I rarely joke outside of RPs or the TET, so it should be assumed I'm being serious.

[The Nuclear Fist]

I just use LGBT, or LGBTQ at most.

Fair enough. Probably falls under the T in that case. I've no great desire to either expand or contract LGBTQ. It's inclusive of just about everyone that should be involved, and isn't too long.

I guess, I'm still new to this whole thing.

[The Lone Alliance]

Asexual.
I don't trust either sex not to, pardon the pun, screw me over.

If that changes one day maybe, but right now I have zero interest.

Hey man, the LGBTQIAYDJXUCVONMWEZ movement should be taken seriously either way.

I personally don't mind the "I" myself.

I added it since some people do, but I agree.

[Morturaria]

Officially a member of the 0% now. Maybe I don't exist

Not existing is very useful. I would know I'm a pansexual.

You can console yourself by having the power of god.

Straight male. Couldn't care less what someone else's sexual orientation is. That's their choice, let them live it, it doesn't affect me in any way.

Might wanna be careful about saying "you don't care", pedos are a thing. Also, it's not really a choice.

As certain things said in this thread have demonstrated.
