LGBTXYZ (LGBT + XYZ)

“LGBTQ” (or LGBT) are too many confusing letters for some people, who add the last three letters of the alphabet to it, forming “LGBTQXYZ” (or “LGBTXYZ”). The “XYZ” extension is not politically correct.
     
“LGBTQXYZ” was posted on the newsgroup alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated on January 23, 2003. ” have a professor who tries to change it up every time in her syllabi: QBLTG, GBQTL, etc. It’s a bit confusing. Perhaps LGBTQXYZ?” was posted on Twitter by Suzanna Krivulskaya on March 20, 2009.
   
“Tonight’s the Queer Open Mic at the 3Dollar Bill Caf? in the LGBTXYZ Center in SF” was posted on Twitter by Mollena WilliamsHaas on July 25, 2008. “We’dhave to be inclusive of all the various initials of the LGBTXYZ” was posted on Twitter by Joe on January 9, 2009.
       
“LGBTWXYZ” and “LGBTQWXYZ” add a “WXYZ” extension. “LGBTQWERTY” and “LGBTQQWERTY” add a “QWERTY” extension.
 
       
Wikipedia: LGBT
LGBT, or GLBT, is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s. Activists believed that the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.
(...)
The initialism LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures. It may be used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, instead of exclusively to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual identity; LGBTQ has been recorded since 1996.
