Cindy  | 384 comments What does LGBTQ stand for? Did I miss the board that explains this challenge. I am a bit confused.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Cindy. I'm so used to seeing the acronym that I didn't think to clarify. It's LBGTQ - Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Queer.

Thanks for asking. It occurs to me now that I should probably add a little link to information on Stonewall.

Absolutely. We can even have it run til the end of 2015. I only set time limits so everything doesn't get jumbled together. I even without a car for a couple of weeks but I'll do some updating as soon as I can get to a computer.
