    The most all-encompassing term I’ve seen is sexual minority. Basically non-cis or non-straight

      There’s some argument over adopting the term GSM (Gender and Sexual Minorities) as an inoffensive general term.

        I like it, even tho usually I include a “R” there for romantic minorities(eg people who might not be a sexual minority but are a romantic one) when discussing this with other people, but I guess it could be argued that they still fit into “sexual”.

        R or not, I like that it includes everyone without any identity being shoved into a letter or a “+” along with lots of others as if they’re an afterthought, not as important as the ones that get to show up as their own letters.
