These people seem to think they can forcibly change the way language is used. That's not how it works. Language evolves naturally when words enter common usage (or cease being commonly used). These weirdos can use whatever language they want, but cannot change common usage and certainly have no right to try and force a change.

'When I came out as gay more than 10 years ago, there were only four letters commonly used to group various sexual and gender minorities: L, G, B and T.These letters were an evolution toward inclusion — an expansion of the language used to represent a disparate group that had often just been called “the gay community.”Despite their intent, the letters proved to be limiting. '

'Times and attitudes have changed, and the language used to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity has also changed. '

'As a result, the established L.G.B.T. abbreviation has acquired a few extra letters — and a cluster of ancillary terminology around both sexuality and gender. '

' Not everyone has adopted them yet. '
