Yes, for a number of reasons. Including for expedience because they can simultaneously claim “gay” and trans representation in one bundle. It’s quick, easy, and low effort. And since most of the people pushing for “LGBTQ” are heterosexual pronoun people or heterosexual allies of pronoun people, they will absolutely be satisfied and will not see any problem or the irony. They are also more likely to see themselves represented by this. It feels pretty inevitable to be honest. And it is stomach turning.
