What do the other letters stand for in "LGBTQ+"?
During the Orlando incident, I noticed that the news kept showing the letters LGBTA+ on tv. they'd occasionally show LGBTQI+ and sometimes just LGBTQ+. (Once I spotted "LGBTQ25" which I assume means there's 25 other un represented identities in there.
I know that the first few stand for
L - Lesbian
G - Gay
B - Bisexual
T - Transgender
(And Questioning, or Intersex or Asexual)
But uh...what's the purpose of the '+'? What are the other unrepresented terms?

Honestly, 'non-heterosexual' is a far better term than LGBTQIA.... The amount of people who want to be categorised differently makes an acronym pointless because acronyms are supposed to be short, and this one is just getting longer and longer. If you want to encompass everyone who isn't heterosexual, just say 'non-heterosexual'.
