This sort of thing is exactly why I say "queer" instead of using initials. Because you can keep adding more initials all day and you're still going to be leaving people out that should be counted and you can take initials away like those people never counted to begin with. And it's very easy for cishet people to ignore any of those letters individually and still act like they're an ally.
"Queer" may have negative roots, but it seems to be generally accepted as an inoffensive term today and, I think, more reflective of sexuality as a spectrum. I wouldn't mind a better word to use without those negative roots, but I just can't think of one.
This does seem rather practical as a catch-all term. LGBTQ+ is much too cumbersome
I've already heard a bunch of queer people around the internet use "queer", so I guess it just needs more adoption
Queer is so much easier to say and is becoming safer to use without someone assuming you're using it negatively.
