I agree to an extent, the original LGBT was a beautiful thing, but I'd say that acronym has survived on its own and is still used regularly to describe the inequality that they face. The letters after that is more to do with community and inclusivity I'd imagine (the majority of heterosexual people also fit under the acronym I mentioned) and I think thats a brilliant, yet separate thing. And I think that way because views like the one below are pretty prominent. 'Asexuals (and the etc) cant be included into the community because theyre just looking for nouns instead of doing something useful'. Its a bit ridiculous, and its excellent that they have been included despite views like that.

People with too much time on the internet looking to label every part of their personality and overall busy with turning themselves into a cluster of nouns instead of actually doing something useful and being a human being who happens to love certain things.
