An alternative to the ever-expanding LGBTQIA+. Twenty years ago, LGBT was commonly used for non-heterosexual or non-cis-gendered people. Some peeps prefer queer to describe themselves because it's not as pigeon-holey as some of the other categories, and there's the intersex and asexual communities too. That brings the acronym string to LGBTQIA. There're also those questioning their orientation or gender identity, allies and pansexuals in the rainbow family, so you might even see LGBTQQIA+ or LGBTQQIAAP. One response to this Alphabet Soup of Queerness is to use Rainbow (or Queer) instead.
