@silverblaze55's post on Artfol

I’m really sorry about my last post, I can’t apologise enough if the question sounded off and left many people so confused. The post is now gone. I still feel bad about asking that particular question about the lgbt community and even though there was no negative comments I was so overwhelmed by the confused response and feared that the comments will get negative.

I just thought what I said sounded nice and symbolic in a way but the way I worded it must’ve been weird or somehow bad because of course the algorithm would not make any sense with me explaining about it.

I grew up with it being lgbt then the Q was added and then the I and A with +. Obviously it just left me feeling very confused about it then there were so many different types of sexuality and it felt like my brain was overheated and I can’t talk to people about explaining it in simple terms because of the hate still going on.

So that’s why I was saying about it COULD stand in a way LGBTAZ for inclusiveness meaning all the letters of the alphabet that it represents everyone so I was actually trying to be nice. But obviously it came out wrong and felt confused and guilty for even asking an innocent question. So again I’m so sorry 😞 😭

I saw your previous post and your fine, it's pretty obvious that you're curious and just wanted to ask a question, there's no reason to feel guilty about wanting to discuss something. I am LGBTQ+ myself and was really happy to have a chance to pass along a little nugget of gueer history, and you post gave me a good place to tell it!
I didn’t know you can say it in different ways and thought the LGBTQIA+ was set in stone like it’s the law to say it and if you don’t then you’re being offensive. 🤣 I may be somewhat old fashioned but I’m closeted and can’t reach out for help and advice.
