I prefer to use "queer" as a general term to "LGBT" because it's snappier and there won't be any debate over what's included in or left out of any acronyms, but it's true that I do identify with the radical tendencies more than most that I've known in my time.
Not to go off topic here, but this is exactly the kind of branding the community as a whole needs toward normalization and to encourage unity. The acronym gets a lot of snark for sounding "too academic"- think back to all the opposition the black community got for encouraging "African American". You have to kind of rush through an ever-expanding number of letters just to reference the community and conservatives falsely, but convincingly point to that as "evidence" that LGBT+ is something new, unnatural, and alien (mostly swaying people like OP, but unfortunately their support is necessary so long as civil rights are taking the long, """democratic""" road). I'll keep "queer" in mind as an alternative but I dunno if I'll start saying it until it becomes more mainstream. Still comes off as a slur to too many people IMO.
