An '''Exclusionist''', also known as an '''Exclus''', '''Exclu''', or '''Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeeper (REG)''', is someone who attempts to gatekeep the [[LGBT+|LGBT]] community by claiming that certain groups aren't "really" LGBT based on their own definition.

The LGBT+ community is a space for anyone who is not [[queern't]], whether oppressed harshly or not. The LGBT+ community is supposed to promote diversity in sexuality, sex, gender, and relationships, which by nature includes [[A-Spec|a-spec]], [[Ethical Non-Monogamy|non-monogamous,]] and any other [[queer]] identities. So long as they are lacking representation and validation in media and everyday life, and are safe and consensual, they are LGBT+. |
