disney's marvel is for breeders

First it was the new Fantastic Four movie, which was all about the white savior goddess and her magical baby. Then it was the teaser trailer for Doomsday showing Captain America with a burping rag on his shoulder, getting ready to burp the baby. Now it's the Thor teaser trailer for Doomsday, begging his father for the strength to show off for his little girl. So, basically, Disney's Marvel is all about being a breeder. I suppose no one else need apply. I expect to be soul-crushingly disappointed by Doomsday.

“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Which one of the LGBT Pride acronyms is the most popular?

The most commonly used variant of the LGBT acronym is LGBTQ (and the variant LGBTQ+), which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer.

This version has gained popularity since the early 2000s as it reflects a broader and more inclusive understanding of gender and sexual identities.

While LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) remains widely recognized and serves as the foundational term, the addition of "Q" for Queer or Questioning acknowledges the complexities of identity beyond the original four categories. 

Some will add even more letters, identifying more sexual orientations and gender identities, like in LGBTQ2IA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Two-Spirit, Intersex, Asexual).

In variants like LGBTQ+ and LGBTQIA+ the "+" signifies additional identities not explicitly represented in the acronym, such as Intersex and Asexual. Indeed, a British study indicates that a majority of queer Britons prefer LGBTQ+ to LGBTQ. This especially applies to the younger generations.

SGM or GSM, an abbreviation for sexual and gender minorities, is used in government, academia, and medicine. 

Some use the term "queer" as an umbrella term for all kinds of gender variance and sexual orientations.

The only variant you should not use is LGB. This one is promoted by anti-transgender activists only.

Saw this on my mastodon.social feed, had to log in to support.

I recall when the L went out front, thinking it wasn't necessarily a good thing. I'd vote just "queer" as a big tent where all are welcome, but apparently that's not sufficiently supportive of ... I'm not sure what. But "queer" could easily encompass ACE/ARO, LGBT, anyone who identified off the mythical repressed "norm".

I only say so because it seems invited by the post.
