Some people are critical of the term, especially insofar as the Q has been added to it in recent times. This is partly because queer used to be a term of abuse that homosexual people would be referred to by. As such, some people prefer to refer to it as Q for questioning rather than queer, and some prefer to drop the letter altogether. In some cases, the term LGBT+ is now in common usage to refer to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender people and anyone else who wishes to identify in an unspecified manner within the group. To some, this is a more inclusive terminology, but LGBTQ still remains the most common.
