An ''' |
An "'''exclusionist"''', also known as an '''exclu''', or '''Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeeper (REG)''', is someone who disagrees with newer sexualities and identities in the LGBT community. For example, an exclusionist may disagree with asexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality, non-binary lesbians, and others. Exclusionists commonly disagree with microlabels and labels that are similar to pre-existing labels. |

== 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+. |

An "exclusionist", also known as an exclu, or Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeeper (REG), is someone who disagrees with newer sexualities and identities in the LGBT community. For example, an exclusionist may disagree with asexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality, non-binary lesbians, and others. Exclusionists commonly disagree with microlabels and labels that are similar to pre-existing labels.
E.C.L.I.P.S.E.
E.C.L.I.P.S.E. (Education, Culture, Language, Intelligence, Preservation, Sexy, Exclusionist) is a term some exclusionists use for the "exclusionist community."
Flags
The flags were coined by Twitter exclusionist @tomnooksfatass.The three main flags used by E.C.L.I.P.S.E. are the eclipse flag, which represents all exclusionists, the solar eclipse flag, which represents man- and masculine-aligned exclusionists, and the lunar eclipse flag, which represents woman- and feminine-aligned exclusionists.[1]
