The Eternals I suspect is gonna be really cool and something I have no familiarity with. I wanna see Hercules and shit.

I'd also like to see Hercules, but he wouldn't be in the Eternals film, as he has nothing to do with them.

Technically, just about everyone in the acronym would fall under the "Q" category, but it's more about inclusivity.

The real problem is, if you're trying to promote inclusivity by repeatedly adding letters to the acronym, you're actually promoting exclusivity because people who don't fall under one of those letters start to feel deliberately excluded. And getting lumped into the "+" feels like you're being marginalized or dismissed in importance - you're not important enough to get a letter! "Why did those people get a letter and I didn't? Fuck those people!" (which actually hints at another problem - especially early on, a lot of "L" and "G"s really didn't like "T" being included... not everyone in that acronym accepts everyone else's lifestyle that winds up in that acronym)

It also runs kind of counter-intuitive to the idea of wanting to normalize "alternative lifestyles" by explicitly defining them as something distinct, because you're emphasizing the "otherness" of it. Ultimately, what you should want to do is promote it as a more general civil rights movement that promotes positivity rather than divisiveness.
