Paste labels
Thinking in a box, labeling, categorizing: opinions are divided about the expansion of the abbreviation LGBTI. Critics point to the negative aftertaste of pigeonholing. It is impossible to make everyone feel at home in any term. There is no need for a box for love and gender, they say.
Proponents of the abbreviation think it is good that attention is paid to diversity. There is much more between man and woman, gay or straight, they believe. A longer abbreviation makes people more aware of this and contributes to a social discussion.
