Somebody just referred to "LGBTQIAPK" on Twitter so I raced to Google.

Now I knew LGBTQ but is "IAPK" a new thing or..

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersexual, Asexual, Pansexual and Polygamous, and Kinkiness.

Can somebody explain why being kinky is now included with being lesbian/gay/bi/trans/etc? I really don't get it.

[RileyH]

hmm

[andybigbro]

I’m sure I seen somewhere there is even more letters at the end of the ones you posted.

[Marches]

Because it’s 2018 everyone has to have a label

Gay? Labelled

Trans? Labelled

Into violent s&m? Labelled

[Saph]

Kinkiness doesn't just 'LGBT' cover everything? why do we need to go into specific categories now

[Marches]

God now people with a bit of a kinky fetish are gonna think they’re part of the lgbt umbrella

[montblanc]

is being kinky really one?

that seems a little strange BUT i'm not going to comment on it bc i don't know anything about it so

[montblanc]

i wouldn't really consider polygamy apart of the LGBT umbrella either but idk

[RichardG]

you'd think gay people would almost be a little bit offended at being categorised under the same acronym as kinky paul who likes to spend his evenings being whipped by a dominatrix in a gimp suit

[Twosugars]

As a plain gay myself, I'd stop at Q as Q imo covers all others that come after (and before if I'm really honest)
deffo wouldn't add kinky or polygamous

don't they realize this is getting ridiculous?
and who the hell decides those things? some gay council of wizards?

I don’t think anyone apart from SJW acknowledge anything past Q

Anal, huh? I'm beginning to see your forum name in a surprising new light

[Withano]

Not heard that before. LGBTQQIAAP is more commonly used.

Well asexuals are not publicized because there is less way to do so as they can still be in a relationship with the opposite gender and people just consider it to be a 'normal relationship' as others have no knowledge of this. It's a sexuality that people have really little knowledge of generally and I've gotten plenty of the 'weird' and 'not normal' comments when I've told people. Just because it's less common doesn't make it less valid.

I completely agree, i think people are quite ignorant about the idea of asexuality (a lot of people suggest it isnt real, and that people are celibate or frigid etc instead).. I dont see why it cant be part of an acronym, especially now that most heterosexuals are widely accepted in this lgbt community under ally in the lgbttqqiaap acronym.

Not too keen on the acronym in the OP though I'll be honest.. that does seem more to do with sex than sexuality

Actually roughly 1% of people identified as asexual in the 1950s on the Kinsey scale, and national census records shows that the figure has barely changed
