Kinda weird that author categorized the incest joke "Howard: I lost my virginity to my cousin Jeanie" under LGBTQ censorship. When she mentioned the justification: "China has encouraged straight couples to marry and raise two to three children." it makes some sense, but incestuous relationships are not considered by themselves "LGBTQIA2S+"

The plus signifies support and acceptance of those who live with HIV.

I think the + just signifies that the movement is willing to include groups that aren't explicitly mentioned because

1) the acronym can only get so long because it becomes alphabet soup.

2) the default posture is to ally with groups that haven't been included yet.
