Why does it feel like only certain types of LBGTQIAP+ people are accepted within the community?

Everyone struggles in the community, and you may only be seeing one side of the media. It is a heavy battle that is not easy to win. It is a matter of accepting yourself, understanding and finding your path and staying course.

Because some are more well known than others. Some people label themselves with orientations that are less common/well known, so people become skeptical about it. It's just lack of knowledge of sexual orientations. Also, some orientations are more highlighted in the media, so they are more widely accepted.

People are normally afraid when they do not know what to expect from a certain culture. When something is new people always tend to freak out. If the community was more educated for this types of things they will be more receiving.

it's a touchy and tough thing to deal with. we all should be accepted because it shouldn't be like high school with all the groups separated or better than each other.

I don't know the answer to this, but I think it's an important question to bring up. I think it's kind of a time thing. For a long time, only lesbian and gay people were discussed, now trans people are more and more in the media. Other identities are still unknown, even within the LGBT+ community. I wish that we could be more accepting of each other, and I'm sure that in time that this will evolve. Don't let anyone tell you that your identity isn't valid. I think all LGBT+ people should be more inclusive, considering we understand what it's like to be judged and misunderstood.

I personally believe that it feels this way due to others ignorance. Many people believe that people are only now coming up with some of the terms often used by the LGBTQ+ community when many of these terms have existed in scientific literature for decades. Somedays it may seem that certain members of the community may experience more acceptance but this may simply be because people aren't aware of the other types. With more education will come more acceptance.

It feels that way because many sexualities are "invisible" or forgotten or not considered a sexuality

Some people fail to accept what they dont understand, purely out of fear of the unknown, It scares them and thats why very few types of LGBTQ+ people are accepted

It's due to either prejudice or scarce knowledge, or maybe both. It can be frustrating to explain your identity over and over again, but it's worth trying to educate other people and spreading the knowledge of all LGBTQ+ realities. Encouraging people to reason on why they exclude some people may help some of them understanding they are behaving irrationally. When given a chance to learn and reflect logically on their behavior, people who are willing to listen and reason can realize that all LGBTQ+ identities are a valid part of the community. Of course, there are also people who won't listen to reason - not everyone is inclusive, even inside the community. That's why in-group solidarity with other marginalized identities is so important.
