The dumb thing is we actually have a word for this.
The word is queer. I'm still unsure as to why this word isn't used for most contexts where the LGBT[...] are currently used. We use the word "gay" and that used to be an insult like "queer" was too.

I think 'Queer' is one of the Q's. The definition I heard for it now was that 'gay' is someone who wants to have a mainstream life with their same-sex partner while 'queer' is someone who considers their sexual identity a form of rebellion.

From the first sentence on the Wikipedia article:
> Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer
Now, some people personally identify as queer instead of lesbian, bi, or gay for all sorts of reasons; but it is the umbrella term.

To save other people from looking it up: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/LGBTTQQIAAP
I had to look up if this acronym was some kind of joke.
