On the one hand yes, that's why at some point people started using the + to make up for every missing letter. An easy way out would to be to say non-hetero-non-cis-folk but then you still miss some groups. You could just say gay people, or queer people, most people will still feel represented. But I like the long string of letters which is a true abomination because of all those letters, exactly because each letter represents someone (a bunch of them even) and it allows for conversation going. The number 2 for example got a lot of people who read this post informed about two-spirited people who maybe never heard those poeple exist before. That matters a lot. If you see for example now republican politicians talking about biological sex even though they never seem to have heard about intersex people it shows how much of the hate comes from not knowing and not understanding. If you've read all this, I hope you've not read it as an attack because it is not. You going on google is exactly the point. But if you don't like doing that, please know (most) gays dont believe you have to, people know they are a minority and often don't mind just telling you about their sexuality or gender when you ask.
