Q: Why is this and other articles titled LGBTQ and not LGBTQ+/LGBTQIA+?
A: Per Wikipedia policy on article titles, we follow the WP:COMMONNAME that reliable sources most commonly use. The current article titles of LGBTQ followed a long history of move discussions, that eventually led to the current title of LGBTQ after reliable data has shown to have shifted to use LGBTQ over any other variants in reliable sources in the move discussion in August 2024. Eventually in the future, it may be that LGBTQ+ will overtake LGBTQ in reliable sources, but for the time being, this is the reason for the current article title. For the term as a word, see LGBTQ (term), for the broader group of people it represents, see LGBTQ people. |

Acronym to LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, or 2SLGBTQIA+
[edit]I'm not sure if this talk has already occurred (the numerous redirects on this page are confusing me), but have we considered broadening the acronym we use here? I know there's a section that lists possible variations of the acronym, but is there a reason that we use LGBTQ instead of at least adding the + like "LGBTQ+," which is generally considered more inclusive?

- @ThatCommieKid: Hello. I believe the main discussion was at Talk:LGBTQ (term)/Archive 4#Requested move 14 August 2024. — Mudwater (Talk) 00:41, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
- There have also been other discussions on various noticeboards, and I think the general consensus is that these expanded acronyms aren't necessary. Zenomonoz (talk) 01:36, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
