There is a reason that you see GLBT or LGBTQ+ as “standard” acronyms, but it doesn’t mean that it ends there. There’s a lot of meaning in that “+”!!
Q: Questioning - still exploring one's sexuality I: Intersex - a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the boxes of “female” or “male.” P: Pansexual - not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity. 2S: Two-spirit - a person who identifies as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit A: Asexual - have little or no sexual attraction to others A: Aromantic - have little or no romantic attraction to others
Gender and sexuality lie on a spectrum, and as more people tune into themselves, and we become more open to people’s difference, we will likely see more letters taking up residence in that “+”.

Others do not include Ally, since Allies in this case are defined as someone who is heterosexual and/or cisgendered but tries to make the world a better place for people who identify as LGBTQ+. (Cisgendered/cis - someone whose internal sense of gender corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth)
