Speaking as a gay men, I believe we SHOULD include the P. To do otherwise is to betray the principles that give us our rights.

Replying to @thehomoarchy @virpeds
Why am I doing what, exactly? What have I ever done but to take what is known scientifically about all sexual interests and help people enjoy what they safely can and manage what they can’t? What alternative would you prefer?

1/ What exactly is accomplished by tacking on every orientation to LGB? Even the "T" makes no sense; trans activists themselves say gender ID has nothing to do w/sexual orientation. Why must LGB serve as a catchall for any and all (non hetero?) sexual interests? In fact...
