I'll be honest that while I get that everybody wants representation, making the abbreviation so unwieldy is ruining the whole point of the abbreviation.
Personally I'm sticking with LGBT+, as it is easily memorable and effectively conveys the sentiment, even if it doesn't catch everybody.

Doesn’t the + catch everybody?

Pretty sure the Q was supposed to originally but the meaning/labeling changed. Then the plus. But people wanted their particular letter included directly and it got silly.

Yes but they aren’t getting first class representation so they keep adding letters to the acronym. It’s too bad literally no one outside the activists cares. Most of my LGBT+ friends think it’s a bit silly. Not horrible, not ridiculous, just a bit silly.
It’s certainly a thing the LGBT community is mocked for and it’s something that the vast majority of people just politely stay away from. That’s really too bad.
