FBI Will Use LGBTQIA+ Acronym in Place of LGBT+ After Diversity Proposal
The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a statement saying that it would replace the LGBTQ acronym with the far more inclusive LGBTQIA+ acronym.
An email reportedly from the bureau’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion to all FBI employees was leaked online.
“The FBI has officially adopted the LGBTQIA+ acronym in place of LGBT+. This change was proposed by Bureau Equality, one of our nine Diversity Advisory Committees, and approved by FBI executive management to help promote a more welcoming workplace for members of our LGBTQIA+ community,” read the email.
The email went on to explain what each part of the LGBTQIA+ acronym meant.
“LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic, plus,” the FBI said. “The ‘+’ represents other gender, sexual, and romantic identities not covered by the letters of the acronym.”
In 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was mocked online after he began using the even more inclusive acronym, 2SLGBTQQIA+.
