LGBTQQIA

Obviously, as journalists, we on The Advocate's editorial staff are word people. Also, the movement we chronicle is well aware of the power of words. As an Advocate copy editor (read: enforcer of language rules) for the past 15 years, I've seen the language we use to describe ourselves and our movement evolve, and a look at our archives reveals even more changes.
