I've seen a lot more push for GRSM (Gender, Romantic, Sexual inorities) in recent years as its easier and is more inclusive. But which would you rather be the go to?

I think some people need to go outside and touch some grass.

I think bundling up every sexual minority into one big group isnt helpful. Groups form because they have specific political/legal/social needs. The gay rights movement formed because people were and are being kicked out of their homes, denied jobs and housing, denied the right to marry the partner you love, on the basis of our same sex attraction. Do asexuals/nonbinaries/Demi boys/agenders/etc have any of those same concerns? Do they have similar concerns but for entirely different reasons? I’m not saying they shouldn’t have support or community, but it really has nothing to do with us

Let's not confuse the straights even more, ok?

For fucks sake let the general public be able to figure something out and stick with it. It's really annoying to people when the politically correct term for a group keeps changing. LGBTQ+ is fine.

I commonly use GSRD where I use to say GSRM. A lot of people are put off by the term "Minority" for some reason or another. They seem to prefer the word "Diversity" over "Minority".

There's also SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity minority), which is more common among activists in the developing world, and GSM (Gender and Sexual Minority) which is becoming more common in certain circles.
I'm all for them. "Gay" is a Western cultural construct which emerged from the Polari culture of the early 20th century in England and its colonies. This has absolutely no bearing on folks in Africa, SE Asia, and the general non-Anglosphere. Continuous expansion of the LGBTQ2SIAAOMGWTFBBQ+ alphabetism doesn't feel like a solution for the long-term.

I like "LGBTQI" because in my language it reads "low-at-key". Three easy syllables, and it includes "intersex" which is important to me after watching the related documentaries.
