Alldeles riktigt, men eftersom tävlingsledningen är HBT certifierad enligt internationell
LGBT ISO 16001 använder vi inte ordet queer utan "öppen" för att inte blanda ihop det med nedanstående diskurs.
Many variants exist including variations which merely change the order of the letters; however, LGBT or GLBT are the most common terms and the ones most frequently seen in current usage.[13] Although identical in meaning, “LGBT” may have a more feminist connotation than “GLBT” as it places the “L” (for “lesbian”) first.[13] When not inclusive of transgender people it is sometimes shortened to LGB.[13][14] LGBT or GLBT may also include additional “Q”s for “queer” and/or “questioning” (sometimes abbreviated with a question mark) (e.g., “LGBTQ”, “LGBTQQ”, or “GLBTQ?”).[15][16][17] Other variants may add a “U” for “unsure”; an “I” for intersex; another “T” for “transsexual” or “transvestite; another “T”, “TS”, or “2” for “Two‐Spirit” persons; an “A” or “SA” for straight allies; or an “A” for “asexual”.[18][19][20][21][22][23] Some may also add a P for pansexual or polyamorous, and an O for omnisexual or other.[13][24] The order of the letters has not been standardized; in addition to the variations between the positions of the initial “L” or “G”, the mentioned, less‐common letters, if used, may appear in almost any order.[13] Variant terms do not typically represent political differences within the community, but arise simply from the preferences of individuals and groups.[25] The terms transsexual and intersex are regarded by some people as falling under the umbrella term “transgender” though many transsexual and intersex people object to this (both for different reasons).[13]
“SGL” (i.e. “same gender loving”) is sometimes favored among African‐Americans as a way of distinguishing themselves from what they regard as white‐dominated LGBT communities.[26] “MSM” (i.e. “men who have sex with men”) is clinically used to describe men who have sex with other men without referring to their sexual orientation.[27][28]
A phrase introduced in the 2000s, “minority sexual and gender identities” (“MSGI”), used to include all letters and acronyms, has yet to find its way into common usage.[29] The magazine Anything That Moves coined the acronym FABGLITTER (from Fetish, Allies, Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Intersexed, Transgender, Transsexual Engendering Revolution), although this term has not made its way into common usage.[1]

En diskussion som också mött viss kritik t ex
The terms LGBT or GLBT are not agreeable to everyone that they literally encompass.[30] For example, some argue that transgender and transsexual causes are not the same as that of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people.[31] This argument centers on the idea that transgender and transsexuality have to do with gender identity or a person's understanding of being male or female irrespective of their sexual orientation.[13] LGB issues can be seen as a matter of sexual orientation or attraction.[13] These distinctions have been made in the context of political action in which LGB goals may be perceived to differ from transgender and transsexual goals like same‐sex marriage legislation and human rights work that is not inclusive of transgender and intersex people.[13] Similarly, some intersex people want to be included in LGBT groups and would prefer the term “LGBTI” while others insist that they are not a part of the LGBT community and would rather that they not be included as part of the term.[32][33]
A reverse to the above situations is evident in the belief of “lesbian & gay separatism” (not to be confused with the related “lesbian separatism”) which holds that lesbians and gay men form (or should form) a community distinct and separate from other groups normally included in the LGBTQ sphere.[15][34] While not always appearing of sufficient number or organization to be called a movement, separatists persist as a significant, vocal, and active element within many parts of the LGBT community.[34][35][36] In some cases separatists will deny the existence or right‐to‐equality of non‐monosexual orientations and of transsexuality.[36] This can extend to public biphobia and transphobia.[34][36]
Many people have looked for a generic term to replace the numerous existing abbreviations.[36] Words like “queer“ and “rainbow” have been tried but most have not been widely adopted.[36][37] ”Queer” has many negative connotations to older people who remember the word as a taunt and insult and such (negative) usage of the term continues.[36][37] Many younger people also understand “queer” to be more politically‐charged than “LGBT”.[38][37] “Rainbow” has connotations that recall hippies, New Age movements, and organizations like Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition in the United States.
Other people also do not care for the term as the lettering comes across as being too politically correct or as an attempt to categorize various groups of people into one grey area word.[31][38] Another concern is that the term LGBT may imply that the issues and priorities of the main groups represented are given equal consideration.[31]
There are also some lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as well as ontologists who are against an "LGBT community" or "LGB community".[15][39][40] Some are also against the political and social solidarity, and visibility and human rights campaigning that normally goes with it including gay pride marches and events.[39][40] Some of them believe that grouping together people with non-heterosexual orientations perpetuates the myth that being gay/lesbian/bi makes a person deficiently different than other people.[15][39] These people are often seen or portrayed as fringe community members and may seem less visible compared to more mainstream LGBT activists.[39][40] Since this faction is difficult to distinguish from the heterosexual majority, it is common for people to assume all LGBT people support LGBT liberation and the visibility of LGBT people in society, including the right to live one's life in a different way from the majority.[39][41][40] Compared with Asian culture, the LGBT community is, in some ways, more acceptable in Western culture, since many Asian parents have negative images of lesbians or gays.[42] Most Asian languages have no word for lesbian, gay or coming out, and there are few lesbian role models to look to.[42]

Öppen klass välkomnar även dem som inte kan socialt dekonstrueras som svenskar i betydelsen "svensk medborgare" i betydelsen "svensk medborgare" i betydelsen svensk medborgare enligt registerutdrag från skatteverket. Med "skatteverket" åsyftas statens skattemyndighet i betydelsen myndigheten för skatteuppbörd och personregistrering.
