<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;">Many people have expressed confusion over the meaning of
this commonly employed acronym. It's easy to understand where that confusion
arises from, admittedly; while the assertion that “they add a new letter each
week” is both condescending and inaccurate, it does sync with the impression
being made by the many forms of this abbreviation which exist. More
specifically, it matches up with the fact that multiple versions of this
acronym are used on a regular basis – sometimes by the same people. Many who
aren't a part of the LGBTQIA+ community are not familiar with the specific or
implied meaning associated with the different abbreviated versions of the
moniker, and there is a lot of misleading material available which can result
in false impressions.</span></span></h1>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In the following account, I hope to clarify some of these
acronyms, to explain their meaning, and to illustrate why and how they are in
use at the same time. The frequent assertion that they are simply the same
thing, with additional letters being tacked on as new descriptions are
contrived or invented, is an honest misunderstanding.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">You will often hear about “the LGBT community.” </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">LGBT</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> stands for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
and Transsexual,” with the inclusion of “Transgender” having recently gained
significant recognition as well. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The LGBT acronym serves as a convenient identifier. It is
not, in this capacity, functioning as a specific recognition of all of the
individual groups of people who fall under its label, but rather as a
representation of the collective whole of the community. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Supposing you work for a major corporation which owns
several smaller companies. You actually work within one of those smaller
companies, but anything that applies to “Alpha Corporation” also applies to
you. It is not meant to be a divisive moniker; quite the opposite, in fact. It
is a broadly encompassing term that is meant to apply to everyone who is a part
of the community at large. This is also a readily recognizable form, which
makes it more convenient when one is dealing with the media, other large
organizations, or individuals outside of – and unfamiliar with – the shared
LGBT culture.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

it’s Different</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">One of the versions of the acronym that is less frequently
employed is </span><a href="https://lgbtq.unc.edu/"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">LGBTQ</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">. The “Q,” in this case, stands for
“Queer,” “Questioning,” or “Genderqueer.” The word “queer” is sometimes used as
a blanket term for anyone who is neither heterosexual, nor cisgender (now,
there's a much-maligned term; “cisgender” simply means that you identify with
your biological gender, nothing more; unfortunately, some extremists have taken
to using it as an insult). The word “questioning” is inclusive in this, but it
reflects somebody who is not certain about either their sexuality, or the
gender with which they identify – except that they know it isn't “normal.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">“Genderqueer” is less well-known and understood by many, in
particular by those outside of the LGBT community. People who are “Genderqueer”
or “Gender fluid” do not identify primarily as being of either standard gender.
They may identify with something completely different, or they may have
shifting, overlapping identities – one or more male, and one or more female.
Genderqueer individuals tend to be extremely unique and individual
personalities. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">LGBTQ was conceived of in response to the understanding that
people falling under the “Q,” with all that it entails, are not necessarily
accurately described by one of the four letters preceding it. It is one of the
longest-maintained forms of the acronym which is intended to specifically
reflect everybody that is included within it, and may be found used in that
form – or, similarly to LGBT, in a form meant to reflect the whole of a
community that consists internally of many varying and unique parts. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

abbreviation which is meant to be specifically inclusive of everybody who is a
part of the LGBT community. It is meant to help everybody who is a part of one
or more marginalized and rejected groups to understand that they are a part of
something bigger than themselves – a community which cares, and which accepts
them for who they are. This is a powerful feeling, one that most people take
for granted. For the average, heterosexual, cisgendered person, there is no
comparison to the feeling that they are literally rejected as being human, by a
significant portion of the human race, for something that is so fundamentally
and crucially a part of who they are as an individual. It isn't simply an
aspect of their appearance – which is not meant in any way to make light of
racism. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">“I” stands for “Intersex.” Intersex is a reference to people
who are literally “between sexes” and are thus neither male nor female. It is a
biological, physiological definition, referring to people who have – for
example – both male and female sex organs, although this is not a given. They
might have biological chemistry relating to either gender, or some other “mix”
of sexes that is not pyschological. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">“A” stands for “Asexual.” Asexual people feel no great
sexual attraction to other people, regardless of gender. There are a broad
range of preferences related to, or falling under, asexuality; for many
asexuals, they simply feel no desire to participate in sexual acts. They may
feel romantically attached to another person; for many asexuals, that attachment
doesn't seem to respect gender at all. Others define themselves as heterosexual
or homosexual. Some asexuals feel sexual urges, but have no desire to
participate in standard, penetrative sex – nor are they, as a rule, repulsed by
it. The desire simply isn't there.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.9pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The “+” at the end is simply meant to include everyone who
might fall outside of the other parts of the acronym. The community strives to
be all-inclusive, but it would be possible to stretch the acronym out until it
became completely unusable. The hope is that by the recognition of the “+” at
the end, that those who fall under less common categories are no less
significant to the community as a whole, and are as warmly welcomed within it
as everyone else.</span></span></div>

built up a warm and welcoming culture, one which provides a place within it for
individuals – regardless of traits labeled as deviant, abnormal, or strange by

a powerful need that lies behind being open about every aspect of one's
individuality, and the desire to be accepted for who one is. The goal of the LGBT

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Everyone wants to eat healthy. We'd all just like to have a
little fun while we're doing it, right? Eating is one of the oldest social
activities on Earth. Everybody loves to eat. To my way of thinking, the modern
tendency to look at time spent preparing and consuming food as wasted time is
what's strange and unnatural. The tendency of some people to eat too much is
completely normal – they're looking for pleasure where they can find it. A
little self-control would be nice, but it's at least understandable – much more
than this “soylent” craze that's now sweeping America!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.9pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">There are lots of responsible, all-natural ways in which we
can enjoy our food without gaining large amounts of weight. Here are a few
handy tips for eating healthy, and still having a good time while you're doing
it! I'll even throw in a couple of ideas regarding cleaning up and other,
time-saving measures, just to be safe.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/quick-easy/fast-dinner-recipes-0"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Home cooked meals</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">, using ingredients purchased from the grocery store, are a
great way to create wholesome, nutritious, and delicious food that will fill
you up with smaller portions. A lot of the processed food that's out there on
our shelves today is very low in nutritional value. This means that your body
is going to crave more after you're done eating it. Biologically, you haven't
gotten all of the nutrients that it wants. This is deliberate; it means that
you're going to buy more of the companies' food. Home-cooked meals, even
relatively simple and easy to prepare dishes, are far more nutritious and
satisfying than junk food, snack items, and microwaved TV dinners.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.9pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">After a satisfying meal, wait until everybody is done, then
have everybody help with the cleanup. Get a rhythm going – a definable process
– and the job will be done in no time. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.9pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The crock pot, or slow cooker, is an amazing device. You can
throw an assortment of ingredients in, and a few hours later you've got a meal
ready. It's moist, delicious, and nutritious food... is it time consuming? You
bet, but you don't have to constantly pay attention to it. You don't even have
to be home while it's cooking. Many modern slow cookers have automatic
settings, smart warming capacity, and other features designed to minimize the
time you have to spend hovering over the pot. Best of all, it's a cultural
trend all in its own – there are hundreds of different books out there which </span><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipes/253/everyday-cooking/slow-cooker/"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">list crock pot recipes</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> for each and every meal, snack, or dessert!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.9pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Buy a crock pot with an earthenware or ceramic interior
bowl. They're naturally non-stick, so they're completely non-toxic – without
any non-stick coatings that might flake or chip. They're very easy to clean as
well, and are often dishwasher safe. With a slow cooker, you don't need to
worry about a separate dish, tray, or pan for every part of the meal.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">People might say, “eat more slowly. Chew your food,” but I
know that – at least in my case – there's only so long that I can spend chewing
on something that's dull and uninteresting. </span><a href="http://www.spiceadvice.com/newsa/usage/chart.html"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Using the right herbs and spices</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">, in just the right amounts, can lead to a meal being much
more satisfying and fulfilling than it otherwise would be. This makes a smaller
portion of food easier to enjoy, and – if you can slow down, just a little – it
will allow you to feel more full, more quickly. This will result in the same
full, satisfied feeling – minus the shame! – with less food, thus less weight
gain. Over time, the difference will show up everywhere: in the mirror, on the
bathroom scale, and in your grocery bill.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
