'''SLGBTQ''' is a [[CWC-ism]] variant of the more common acronym '''{{w|LGBT|LGBTQ}}''', an acronym for "[[Homos#Lesbianism|les]][[Gaybian|bian]], [[Homos|gay]], [[Simonla Rosechu#Evan's response|bisexual]], [[transgender]] and queer". Chris coined his variant on the term sometime in April or May 2017 but did not explain the reasoning behind his alteration until [[May 2017 Facebook posts#Explaining the SLGBTQ|a Facebook post on 21 May 2017]]. He has since used the term consistently in contexts where most people would use the more conventional acronym, cementing its CWC-ism status.

The "Q", for the blanket terms "queer" or "questioning", is a reasonably common addition by modern activists.

More notable is Chris's inclusion of an "S" for "[[I am STRAIGHT|straight]]", which he explained as being to welcome non-LGBTQ people "with open hearts". As straight people make up the vast majority of the population, Chris's new acronym covers almost everyone (with the notable exception of [[The Wallflower|asexuals]]), thus defeating the purpose of identifying LGBTQ people as a minority group with common attributes.
