Just curious, what are your opinions on what the q in the LGBTQ acronym stands for: queer or questioning?

For the longest time I thought it was for questioning but recently I heard people use queer for it so now I just say both. I think there might also be two q's to solve the issue but I could be wrong

Personally, I think it means Queer. What about you?

I agree. A lot of people think it means questioning, which I’m not against, per say, but I think queer fits better. It is both an identity and a term to describe the whole community, so I think it works well.

Yeah, I get it cause like in the acronym it's mostly about sexual orientation and less of gender identity so Questioning kinda balances it a little bit

Good point.

A little off topic but do any of you know what a soulmate RP is?

Yeah… I'm pretty sure it's queer but it would also be nice to have a questioning if it doesn't already. Cuz I feel if people are unsure of who they are, they still wanna be welcomed and feel like they belong somewhere as a start for their journey of self-discovery. Kinda like that I guess…

I get what you mean

Like someone said before in the comments, there should be two q’s, if there aren’t already, so there’s one for each.

I feel like the name is pointless in some aspects like I understand (being ace I don't have a space) but besides that the community is pretty open and accepting-most of the time. Is the name just for show or do you guys think it means more?

I think it means more, because I think everyone wants to feel accepted, especially in the acronym, so they feel like they have a place in the community. That’s just my opinion tho.

I still think we should use saga more

I do think we should use SAGA more, I just don't know if anyone would know what I'm talking about if I use it

I see ur point. I’ve never heard of SAGA until now, but it’s growing on me.

That's good. I feel inspired to share SAGA with my fellow community members

Can we take a minute for those Pedophiles who think they are part of the community

Ugh! I hate that! Pedophilia is not okay, and they are totally not part of the community!

No they don't deserve any of our time

I know! It disgusts me

They really don't. I mean seriously just because you imagined your own pride flag doesn't mean you can be with the rest of us. Pretty sure they have a flag anyway…

Same. Makes me feel sick just thinking about it.

Yeah, they have a "pride flag".

It doesn't help selling the SAGA community name either

I hear ya

What do you think our anthem should be? I think it should be Same Love by macklemore

That’s a good idea

I'm actually listening to it now

I don't think I've heard that lol

Really?! Well, it's pretty much on the nose if I'm being honest.
