I think the title suggests that this list is inclusive of any acronym related to LGBT topics. So those would be appropriate additions.

Hmm. Part of me feels the "related" is implied, but part of me feels as though to remove it implies that related acronyms are no longer appropriate for inclusion. I also feel as though the realm of non-heteronormativity has deepened/expanded to the point that to remove the "related" might read as offensive to some. What are the arguments in favor of making this change (presumably there are some or this wouldn't have been proposed to begin with)?

Move: Naming guidelines can be found at
WP:CRITERIA. One of those naming criteria is Precision. My quick review indicates that this list is LGBTQ+ acronyms, rather than related terms. Thus, the proposed article name would be more precise. The criteria also call for Concision, specifying that "the title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects." The new name would be more concise, yet still recognizable. The naming criteria also looks for Consistency, meaning that selected titles are "consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles." My quick search indicates that the term "related" is rarely used in the name of list articles. As @
Doniago indicates, "related" in implied.

Move: Just now I was looking for this page and was confused when I couldn't find it after putting "LGBT acronyms" in the search bar. I don't think the word "variants" should be added to the title though if that's what you're referring to. I recently added some acronyms like SGL (same gender loving) and TGE (trans and gender expansive), so I think LGBT acronym variants would be confusing since I would think it's only for variations of LGBT ( LGBTQ, LGBTQIA, etc.). I think LGBT acronyms is fine though since it's acronyms relevant to the LGBT community rather than just variants of LGBT. Plus we can always add a redirect for "LGBT related acronyms" if need be, but I think one will be automatically made with the move.
