Hear ye, hear ye non-cishets

I suggest we change LGBT to TBLG

As it seems cis gay and lesbian folks tend to forget bisexual and trans people exist

Or even better, TBNBALG+

For those of us who are transgender, bi, non binary, and asexual.

Maybe they’ll remember we exist.

people writing GLBT makes me ehhh. we don’t need to prioritize more. in fact it already seems like a list of who has visibility and sorta acceptance- note that trans people are dead last.

Hello Friends. First of all I would like you to imagine me on a children’s rocking horse, which happens to be located at the top of a ten-foot slide. The

This is the best satire of vapid pandering masturbatory LGBT yuppie journalism ive read in a long time.

Like many cities back in the day Los Angeles had an odious anti-crossdressing regulation on the books they called Rule Number 9. It made it illegal for performers to 'impersonate by means of costume or dress a member of the opposite sex' unless you had a special permit issued by the LA Board of Police Commissioners. Most illusionists to avoid drama with the police law would perform either wearing a tie, male trousers or a male shirt in order to avoid running afoul of LAPD officers just itching to enforce it and start the process of piling up violations on a club to get its license yanked.This rule existed despite a California Supreme Court ruling that struck down the state anti-crossdressing statute several years before that made crossdressing legal. The 60's were a more paranoid and hostile time in terms of enforcing the gender binary, and the police in the various cities that had these ordinances on the books used them and other means such as dress codes, liquor licensing and prohibitions against same gender people dancing to harass people they deemed as 'deviants'.Of course you know back in the day the 'deviants' category for the 'law and order' gender stormtroopers included TBLG people.As apart of another 'hate on GLBT peeps' law enforcement crackdown, The LAPD decided to target the bars where illusionists worked since they were one of the few places in LA where TBLG community members could openly congregate.Their number one target?

LGBTQ Terminology

LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQA, TBLG: These acronyms refer to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Asexual or Ally. Although all of the different identities within “LGBT” are often lumped together (and share sexism as a common root of oppression), there are specific needs and concerns related to each individual identity.

Asexual: A person who generally does not feel sexual attraction or desire to any group of people. Asexuality is not the same as celibacy.

Ally: Typically any non-LGBT person who supports and stands up for the rights of LGBT people, though LGBT people can be allies, such as a lesbian who is an ally to a transgender person.

Lesbian: A woman who is primarily attracted to other women.

Gay: A person who is attracted primarily to members of the same sex. Although it can be used for any sex (e.g. gay man, gay woman, gay person), “lesbian” is sometimes the preferred term for women who are attracted to women.

Bisexual: A person who is attracted to both people of their own gender and another gender. Also called “bi”.

Transgender: This term has many definitions. It is frequently used as an umbrella term to refer to all people who do not identify with their assigned gender at birth or the binary gender system. This includes transsexuals, cross-dressers, genderqueer, drag kings, drag queens, two-spirit people, and others. Some transgender people feel they exist not within one of the two standard gender categories, but rather somewhere between, beyond, or outside of those two genders.

Queer: A term used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual and, often also transgender, people. Some use queer as an alternative to "gay" in an effort to be more inclusive. Depending on the user, the term has either a derogatory or an affirming connotation, as many have sought to reclaim the term that was once widely used in a negative way.

Questioning: For some, the process of exploring and discovering one's own sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
