:: I'm still fairly opposed to the "Queer"->"LGBTQ+" shift. "Queer" is a perfectly good umbrella term, and corresponds to "queer studies" etc.; moreover the trend of 'sanitisation' towards the acronym infamously plays into various exclusionary movements. With all respect to Jack and others who have negative associations, "queer" is not an objectionable term that needs to be shoved under the carpet; certainly it's been used pejoratively by some, and the feelings of those with such associations are valid, but no more or less than, well, "gay". As such, I would prefer that the Wiki ''not'' be seen to join that particular dogpile, even if using the acronym in and of itself would (obviously) be unobjectionable.--[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
