The complete LGBT spectrum[edit]

LGSBTA: lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, transgender and asexual
unite - don't divide
the fact that "others" divide us doesn't mean that we should serve these others! — This comment was unsigned.

Wiktionary is a descriptive dictionary: we describe the language as people actually use it not how it ought to be used or how anyone wants it to be used. We also try to maintain a neutral point of view, so "we" has to include everybody (including those "others") or nobody.
In practice that means that you need to be able to show usage as specified by the rules of our Criteria for inclusion if you want to have an entry or a sense here at Wiktionary, and that anything that meets those criteria has a place here, whether it's good or bad, vile or noble.

We have an entry for LGBTA. This version, without the A, is also attested, so we have an entry for it, too. We have ones for LGBTQ and LGBTQIA, too. - -sche (discuss) 01:52, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
