I am continuing the fight to integrate FABGLITTER into everyday language. Well, at least for us fabulous people.

5 Notes

By which I mean queer people. This is kind of a humorous middle-of-the-night rambling on my part. Queer is a wonderful reclaimed umbrella term (see my lengthy article on the word, its origins, and its appropriate use, which I’m rather proud of, by the way), but it’s both contentious and kind of a downer. You know what would clearly expresses our collective fabulosity? FABGLITTER!

FABGLITTER: (acr.) Fetish, Allies, Bisexuals, Gay, Lesbians, Intersexed, Transgender, Transsexual Engendering Revolution
(Source: Anything That Moves)

Coined by the now-out-of-comission San Francisco-area bisexual magazine, Anything That Moves, this is an umbrella term that makes me clap my hands with glee and giggle like a 14-year-old school girl, although that would really make it an average Thursday for me.

I move to only refer to our community as FABGLITTER from here on in. Who’s with me?

(I know it’s grammatically weird, I find reading each identity followed by “Engendering Revolution” each time makes it make more sense to me. I’m just ignoring that; it’s fabulous.)
