In reading an article about Trump's latest attempt to harm transgendered people, I came across a term I hadn't seen before - GSM. In that context, it stands for Gender and Sexual Minorities. Researching it a bit, it seems that its use is growing as an alternative to the term LGBT in order to be more encompassing of the wide spectrum of people that are not cis-gendered heterosexuals, since it is becoming untenable to keep adding additional letters to LGBT to represent every group.
I found this from a few years ago:
GSM acronym better than LGBT alphabet soup
GSM doesn't seem to have really caught on as a widely used term.
