A word that used to mean 'gay or
lesbian', probably excluding bisexual and pansexual people. Nowadays it's a catch all term used to mean 'transgender, nonbinary or
gender nonconforming'. Personally I do not like the widespread use of this term because transgenderism and
gender conformity are both issues that are important enough to be treated separately, even though they can of course intersect. It's a bit like having a catch-all phrase that means 'woman or black person or both'. Also encourages gender essentialist thinking which is a problem on the modern 'left'.
