When did we go from LGBTQ to LGBQ+, and what does the difference mean?

Asked by Jeruba (55837points) February 15th, 2023

I’m accustomed to seeing and hearing the initials “LGBTQ,” with or without a plus, and understand it to mean lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and questioning. This morning I read Jennifer Rubin’s column in the Washington Post (“We are suffering from an empathy gap, but we can fix it”) and saw that she had written “LGBQ+.” I followed her link to a CDC page:

https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/pdf/YRBS_Data-Summary-Trends_Report2023_508.pdf

and saw the term and expansion there.

My question: what happened to the T?
