For me, it's nice to see the full acronym in places where it makes sense or are already LGBTQ focused. Outside of those spaces, I generally prefer LGBTQ or LGBTQ+ for that reason. That holy grail would be nice to reach some day. For those looking on and saying "well, you're doing it to yourselves": The answer is that currently we _have_ to do it because any many parts of the USA/world people who fall under that umbrella aren't able to live in a way that brings them joy. As such, they need a banner to organize under and belong with. Once that need passes eventually so will the labels.
