Tbh, I don’t really understand the tendency to try to add ‘queer’ to the LGBTIA+ acronym.
Seems to me like queer is itself a community term for LGBTIA+ people that resist labelling and a signular focus on identity politics, that strive towards a more revolutionary and intersectional approach to queer politics, and do not want to be assimilated into a pro-capitalist Gay Rights Under Capitalism movement.
Given all that, why would you want to put the Q under a big LGBTIA+ umbrella? What’s in it for the queer movement? Why would you try to get ‘queer’ a seat at the table of identity politics?
What’s the point?
Queer isn’t a population group within the LGBTIA+ community, it’s a whole movement of its own. So why try to be just another letter in the acronym?
