== How exclusionism is harmful ==
Exclusionism is harmful not only because it ignores what being LGBT+ means, but also because it leaves out essential groups and invalidates the harm and lack of representation done to other members of the community. Many exclusionists believe that to be LGBT+ you have to be severely oppressed. While this is how the LGBT+ community started, it is not what defines the LGBT+ community, as not all people of a certain sexuality, gender, or relationship type are oppressed to the same extent.
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]] identity, whether oppressed or not. So long as they are lacking attention and validation in media and everyday life, are ''safe'' and ''consentual'', they are LGBT+.
