Wasn't that the one created by one of those groups trying to push the idea that pedophilia is included into the mainstream?

The LGBT order, and all of its extended variants included, is not going away anytime soon. It seems to be resilient and the alternatives like MOGAI or GSM or SAGA have not really caught on. I think I see GSM most often, and only MOGAI on tumblr and sometimes twitter. But LGBTQ+ is not going away, it is sticking around.

“The LGBT order,...is not going away any time soon.” Lol I read this like “LGBT Order”
Ah, well. It's the phrasing, but the letter order of L,G,B, and T, plus additional letters such as Q,I, and A, or sometimes the plus symbol after the T.
But, I like my unintended phrasing now you mentioned it.

Various reasons. From it being first, it meaning literally the exact same thing, and (this will be controversial for sure) it's less feminist and more egalitarian.
Oh, and while "GL" is slightly harder to pronounce than "LG", "GL" looks significantly more visually appealing in text. The aesthetic is of course a rather minor reason.

How is it less feminist and more egalitarian?

I have heard that, but I'm not sure if it was actually created by them. Also, /dʒiː ɛs əm/ sounds significantly different from /dʒɪzm̩/, so I think that's a silly criticism.

Also, you're on NationStates, and linguistic knowledge is an important factor of worldbuilding (at least if you want to be semi-realistic).
Both valid points. I wish I was a linguistic nerd because I would like to learn Arabic.
