To be fair lgb and lgb+ was a lot easier. Its practically doubled over time. Is the Q even needed? I thought queer was a slur.

    It's lgbt, not lgb. And queer is a reclaimed slur.

    gotta realize I have experience going back to the 70's. I could be wrong but I swear it was lgb at one point.

    I looked it up and the Q can stand for "queer" or "questioning". I've always assumed it was the second for the exact reason you mentioned. It has been, at least in part, reclaimed, although it probably differs from group to group.
