Okay. Is "gay" an umbrella term for many queer folks? Yes. If you are bi or pan can you describe yourself as gay if you want? Of course. But saying gay is an umbrella term for the whole LGBT community is absolute nonsense.

Marginalised folks:
use the labels that you identify with
EVERY umbrella is opt in
use inclusive language wherever possible
examine your own privilege - we all have some!
don't ever label another marginalised person
remember ALL of LGBTQIA+

A correction note that this tweet should have said "and aro folks" after ace Because I was using an incorrect umbrella! (thinking ace was a larger umbrella than it is). And a reminder that ace (asexual) and aro (aromantic) folks are the A of LGBTQIA+https://twitter.com/thalestral/status/992030065675284480 …

The above being a perfect example of how you can cause hurt without being hateful! And how easy it is to listen and correct yourself (though I absolutely should have looked into it myself and have zero excuse), and do better moving forward. Thank you
