Made up by a Christian spirituality prof no less, falsely quoting a book that never made this claim https://medium.com/the-narthex/glbt-lgbt-lgbtqia-whats-in-a-name-a5608849c9fa

I’m in the disney college program and had the privilege of listening to Paige O’Hara (the actress of Belle from Beauty and the Beast) talk about being coached by Howard Ashman. She also said that the cut song “Human Again” was about how Howard saw himself as the Beast and wanted to live a normal life again

There’s a lot of theories but there isn’t a for sure reason. I like the idea of it being in solidarity with feminism and so on but I think it’s probably just simply because the English language is ever evolving. Many countries still use GLBT

I’m very fascinated by this. This is a historical fact that I’ve heard time and time again, and I’ve always accepted as true. Now I’m mentally sorting through all of the LGBTQ+ media I’ve consumed from before the 2000’s and trying to recall what acronyms they used.
