We believe it was coopted by pedophiles or they tried to claim it for themselves or join in with using it in some way, so sadly there's a lot of baggage which comes with it and why any in the know don't use it.

Thanks for teaching-me-about/reminding-me-of that acronym.

I've been advocating for the adoption of "people with minority Sexual Orientations and/or Gender Identities" ie "SOGI minorities" or "SOGIm".

I think I still prefer " SOGI minorities" because it's inclusive, and the acronym sort of stands on it's own e.g. I recently learned my province has SOGI curriculum as part of the school system. It's not just about SOGI minorities, it's about helping kids understand what gender is, and isn't.

I do like how GSRM articulates the difference between sexuality and romance though.
