Today’s blog brought to you by the letter ‘I’.

So I guess I missed the memo. The other day I was made aware that my people (read: The Queers) added an additional letter to the already-a-mouthful abbreviation LGBTQ….I. I was confused. Where did this letter come from? Of course I googled it. It stands for Intersex. Okay that makes sense to me completely. We are an all encompassing community. We love everyone. But where is the line? I mean I don’t want to exclude anyone but it seems that we might be getting to the point where we just call ourselves the “Everyone but Straight ppl” Community. That’s rude huh? Why exclude the straight people. We include every other form of gender and orientation. 

I’m kidding. Sort of. I mean I think it’s important for people, such as myself, who are outside the traditional heterosexual world to have a community to feel part of. However, it kind of gets to this point where it really does just mean everyone…. except straight people. I suppose the biggest argument is that heterosexuals have the whole world for their community. No one cares if you are heterosexual. But anything else….? Oh no that’s not good. I guess what I’m saying is I see two sides to this and in typical “me” fashion, I don’t have a solid opinion either way. I love my straight friends as much as I love my LGBTQI ones. We shouldn’t have to have a crazy long abbreviated community. We should just be part of the rest of the world. As equals. Oh…I guess I did have an opinion. It sure took me too long to get here.
