Question for staff

[Skittles Rainbow]

The Investigating Reality board is already really bold for listing LGBTQAI+ and I have felt so welcomed here for so long. So many forums are scared to be as inclusive as all of you are being by putting it right on your home page. But I was thinking that the longer acronym would be even more inclusive.

LGBTTQQIAAP+

(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual)+



I know these things get hectic every time a letter is added, and I know the + is supposed to include all others, but I thought it was important to add the others.



Is it open for discussion to have it added to the description?



Again I love and respect all of you so much already for creating such a safe space to discuss these types of issues with no bias and hate. So, this is up to you all.



Also, what do the other members feel?

As a trans member, I'm OK with it either way. As you said, this forum goes above and beyond in being courteous and respectful of our community. I'm home here.

[Micah 6:8]

I'm happy we make you feel that welcome. I don't mind the change.

I've never had to hide who I was either. This is my safe forum. People are very open minded. I too am fine whether or not the change is made.

[xea989]

Fine with me. Other staff members??


BTW, the admin will have to make the change. We can't edit anything.

[Javier9101983]

That's fine. I don't mind.

[palisades]

I don't mind.

[Bubbles]

You all are fantastic for even considering the change. You are already so welcoming and generous.

[uncognito]

A-oK with me.

[Jaxon]

Seems like the other members don't mind.

Agreeing with your compliments and saying the + that's there now is not meant to offend. It's meant to be inclusive. We have to admit ourselves that the lettering changes often.

It might only visually look weird in the description with all the capitals. Otherwise, it's cool here.

This is very reasonable. If you happen to see ads on the forum, it's because I disabled ad-free to work on a few change. Maybe you'll find your request!!
