@arcade @Amber some people think it stands for “Ally” there was fights about it.

@zens @Amber wtf people whyyy allies by definition aren't queer

@arcade @Amber queer is covered by Q i would have thought- though it’s popular to think of “queer” as an umbrella term to include everyone (that’s how i think of it) there’s a few older folk and seperately some utterly shitty people who still feel “queer” is a slur. so i don’t know what categories they have goin in their heads

@arcade @Amber exclusionists don’t get the point of solidarity. i think the sequence of letters should include black and indigenous folk too, we’re all in the same struggle against fascism

@zens @Amber yes! Solidarity forever and intersectionality forever

@zens @Amber oh I meant to say that allies aren't any kind of gay/lesbian/Enby/trans etc. Queer! So like why would allies need to be in the acronym

@arcade @Amber i dunno, i am not on team include allies, but i think the argument is something like we should give them a treat for being good boys

@arcade @Amber like, i’m not *against* including allies but that argument doesn’t really convince me of its merits

@zens @Amber same here, allies are super important, but just as a treat for being good boys isn't a great argument
