Queer, Intersex, and Asexual IIRC.

How are queer and gay different?

OK. I'm getting the queer and the intersex people being in on that.
But putting asexuals together with these very sexual people sounds like a recipe for disaster.

No more so than transgender and intersex whose primary issues are around gender, while L, G, and B are more about overthrowing gender roles.

How interesting!  No wait, the other thing.  Tedious.  How tedious!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I thought L, B, and B were just about who you wanna have sex with.

A gay relationship naturally involves subversion of gender norms given the lack of both partners in a pairing.

Justin Bieber applying for US citizenship
BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 09/15/18 12:04 PM EDT

Justin Bieber is reportedly applying for dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship.

TMZ reported Saturday, citing unnamed sources with direct knowledge, that the Ontario-born pop star had applied for U.S. citizenship.

Bieber moved to Atlanta, Ga., when he was 13 years old and has lived in the U.S. ever since. He reportedly plans to keep his Canadian citizenship.

News of the U.S. citizenship application comes as Bieber and American model and TV personality Hailey Baldwin were spotted in Los Angeles on Thursday reportedly obtaining their marriage license.

The two got engaged while on vacation in the Bahamas in July, according to Bieber's Instagram.

For some reason Glassdoor keeps suggesting me jobs in wound care, even though my profile says that I'm a data scientist.  If that's what they think data scientists do, then no wonder their job suggestion algorithm works so well.
:hmm: Now it thinks I'm a formulation scientist for pharma companies.  At least it's some kind of a scientist now. When the world is run by algorithms, I hope none of them were created by the Glassdoor "data scientists".

I got several offers for code monkey jobs through LinkedIn, since my profile reads "scriptwriter".
