if you're planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems
The UK government is getting rid of conversion therapy. Labour wants to, the king wants to, the C of E wants to, and because of the last part, enough Tories want to that it will happen.
So it doesn't have similar problems when you have a queer child.
LGB is one thing, Q and T are another. There's a reason it's so often referred to as "TERF Island".
That moment when I question what Q stands for. Lesbian Gay Bi ? Trans I thought the Q was queer, which always seemed redundant, so I just took it to mean pans. Like LGBPT.
Yep, Q is Queer (also sometimes Questioning). It's kind of a fuzzy category to define from the outside, but covers people who don't consider themselves to fall within any of the other categories.
Non binary and other gender nonconforming folks will often identify as queer. So may people who challenge cis- or hetero-normativity, monamory, and other social norms around gender and sexuality (look into "Queer Theory").
