"As a heterosexual man can I be part of that community?"

You can identify as Questioning. Especially if you like to ask a lot of questions.

Anyone can identify as "Queer" too, in the classical sense of the word.

In fact, if you're happy or care-free, then you're technically gay.

"transatlantic relations are over"

cisatlantic relations are in.

"Yes. L is G. No need to create a sub-category."

I disagree. I think there's a huge difference, especially when watching, er, movies. YMMV.

Found this on a Medium article:

"Since the 1990s, different versions of the initialism have proliferated as increasingly nuanced ways to understand and define people's lived experience of gender and sexuality are articulated. One expanded version of the initialism in use is LGBTQQIP2SAA, which stands for: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, pansexual, two spirit, asexual, and ally."

"in the original LGBT(Q+)"

Didn't the original ordering start with G?

Charlie Brown has been fired.

"These people who come out IN PERSON to question these fascists are BRAVE people.

But I think that their anger is wasted."

Unlike Keyboard Warriors like yourself?

"You don't get to be an initial unless you're marginalized."

Everyone is marginalized, to some extent. What's the threshold? Since we're mixing and matching orientations with gender identities then why not also include other marginalized groups, like Autistic and Neurodivergent people too?

"Circling back to my original question, are white, hetero swinger Allies marginalized?" Eh, no, they just like to fuck."

Actually, you just made the point in how they're marginalized in the same way bisexuals often were and are. For a time, I think they weren't even acknowledged by the Gay and Lesbian movements.

Historically, swingers were associated with the word "gay" regardless of their orientations. Before it became primarily associated with homosexuality, gay referred to anyone in the Freelove movement.

"When did it stop being Allies?*

I've seen it referred to as Asexual or Agender or Androgynous far more often than Allies. I'm pretty sure Alcoholics Anonymous were also embedded at one point.

I remember people used to complain if you conflated sexual identities with sexual orientations. Now they complain and accuse you of trying to deny their existence if you don't.

The Q stands for QAnon.

"The article links the original:
www.theatlantic.com"

It raises an interesting question about why the OP chose a less credible source when they could have linked to the original. I've seen people on both the left and right undermine their credibility in this way here.

According to media bias web sites, boingboing has "mixed" credibility in their reporting, which is less than "mostly factual".

'God mode' would imply they have the ability to edit any code or data in the database(s), without any audit trail.

Whenever I need unbiased and credible news, I go to boingboing.net.

Or maybe not.

Ceviche is delicious, but it comes with its risks.

"The Europeans are off to have another World War? Sounds like we'll be sitting this one out fellas."

That's what they thought last time, until a base on US territory was attacked.

Do we still have a base in Greenland?

We love Big Pharma.

"Traitors like Bluewaffles should be tried for treason alomgside Trump! Human excrement!"

Oh no, it looks like Danni is flirting again.

"One child, she said, had a fever of 103 degrees."

Fahrenheit or Celsius?

I think once the truth comes out, we'll discover the pilot was Australian.

"How about using the George Will standard:"

Unfortunately, George Will and every other real conservative are labeled "RINOs" these days by the ----- that took over the party.

"The number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births rose from 5.93 to 6.26 in those states,"

Up for what time periods? How much does the rate usually fluctuate between time periods?

"And you understand that it's still the Gulf of Mexico?"

Is this supposed to be a retort or an agreement with what you were responding to?

What ever happened to "the meaning of words and names change over time"?
