Archy1221 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 He’s one of the most genuine members of the Chiefs and a great guy outside of football. Love seeing him practice off-season at the local HS and giving free advice to the HS players who take advantage of it. 7 1 Link to comment

Sometimes I see it and sometimes I don’t It's essentially a catch-all for the sake of inclusivity. The language and vernacular is constantly evolving. The common designation for the queer community used to be LGB, then LGBTQ, now LGBTQIA, maybe it'll change again tomorrow for the sake of recognizing other segments of the community. Throwing a plus on the end means you are not intentionally leaving anyone out. Honestly, it all means essentially the same thing, but making the effort to keep up with the changing times is what matters. It's hard to keep up with changing communities and changes in cultural understanding, and mistakes get made in the process. LGBTQIA+ community just wants us to try and to not negate their humanity. 1 Link to comment
