Talk:Lesbigay

Old comments
From subject page:
 * "Let's think of one word to call ourselves, anything, and not lezzzzzzzzbigay... have you seen that? I would rather call us the Linda Hunts. We're the Linda Hunts. That's gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered right there. We're the Linda Hunts. Not fucking lesbigay."
 * - Lea Delaria

I'm not sure what this quote adds to the article. Is Lea Delaria a prominent spokesman or advocate? It would be a great quote in a Lea Delaria article, if anyone wanted to write one. --Ed Poor


 * Lea Delaria is a lesbian comic. She is a goddess. I worship her. - user:Montrealais

From the article:
 * Suitcase word? used to refer to lesbians, bisexuals and gay men.

While I find the idea of a something called a "suitcase word" strangely hilarious, it's not a very widely used term as far as I know (although I for one shall be doing my best to get it into wider usage, and I urge everyone else to do likewise). I think most people still say "portmanteau word", unless it's an American thing (Google suggests it is not). --Camembert


 * I've never heard "suitcase word", however simply "portmanteau" is more familiar to me than the redundant "portmanteau word". --Brion


 * I tend to use "umbrella term"...
 * Incidentally, isn't the relevant TLA LBG? -Martin

What?
