Relevant xkcd:

(Caption above the panels:) How Standards Proliferate (See: A/C chargers, character encodings, instant messaging, etc.) (A text-only panel.) Situation: There are 14 competing standards.<br> (Cueball and Ponytail stand facing each other.) Cueball: 14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases. Ponytail: Yeah! (Another text-only panel. The word "Soon:" appears in its own box at the upper left of the panel.) Soon: Situation: There are 15 competing standards.

Completely agree, the community feels more fragmented than ever. I likely correspond to at least three different pride flags from my orientation at this point and I still mix up the colors. Can we just go back to being "gay" as a broad term? I'll save the semantics for my pronouns and sexual partners lol

    Yeah, if you're not a candidate for getting in my pants, and happily married thank you, all anyone really needs to know is nonbinary. The charts and graphs with colors and times of day and moods and scratch and sniff areas (it's a very well designed chart, I've put a lot of thought into it) those I have saved over the years for my lovers, my glue salespersons, and the lady who owns and runs my favorite restaurant (we know each other a little too well).
