Approximately the same thing that was wrong with POC that led to BIPOC. Prefixing 2S centres the First Nations experience which has added intersectional layers, just as prefixing BI to POC centres the black and indigenous experiences which have added intersectional layers
In case you are wondering about I and A, that’s intersex and asexual/aromantic
Arguably the (first) Q letter covers everyone, but also there are people who grew up with it as a slur used against them who aren’t keep on taking the word back.
QUILTBAG was a cute rearrangement when I was in uni two decades ago. LGBTQ+ is not the oldest form either. G used to come before L, etc
