IIRC I have seen versions of the initialism that include A for “Ally.” Which suits me just fine.
Edit: I’m well aware that the first A is for Asexual. I’m not trying to co-opt anything. Explainers like this are what I’m referring to. I’m sorry if what I said was offensive.
For those who don’t want to click the link, here’s the explanation that page gives for the initialism:
L - Lesbian
G - Gay
B - Bisexual
T - Transgender
Q - Queer
Q - Questioning
I - Intersex
P - Pansexual
2S - Two-Spirit
A - Asexual
A - Allies

The A is for asexuals…

A real ally wouldn’t be co-opting queer culture and inserting themselves in it.

I remember someone suggesting a 4 letter acronym that was more “all inclusive” so it wouldn’t require adding letters and symbols every so often. It didn’t seem to take off and I can’t remember what the 4 letters were.
