Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: describing diversity

[Eris Weaver (eris]

I'll just briefly pipe in on one of the other listings...to say how much I hate 
the whole ever- expanding alphabet of LGBTQI and whatever else gets added on! 
I'm a Lesbian, you can call me gay, MAYBE if we have the right relationship you 
can call me queer, but don't call me LGBTQI. Just like Sharon talked about all 
the folks from different cultures that all get lumped together as Black by 
those who aren't....those of us who get lumped together under the LGBTQI 
moniker don't necessarily have much in common except that OTHER people think 
we're freaks because we don't conform to their expectations around sexuality 
and gender.
