Why is this expression used?  A person can not be “LGBTQ+.”  Physically and literally impossible.[/quote]

You are incorrect.

The way OP used it is not the typical common usage.  The more common usage is to refer to a group of individuals or stakeholders that fit within the broad umbrella of LGBTQ+.  As in, "the LGBTQ+ community."

But, it is possible for an individual to fit more than one of the categories covered.  Someone can be both gay and trans, for example.  Queer is an umbrella term.  The "plus" covers a host of identities including intersex, bigender, and gender non-conforming: some of those have to do with biology, some with presentation, and some with orientation, so there can be overlap.  As OP does not know the whole story with BFF, referring to her as LGBTQ+ makes logical sense.

And in any event, you knew what she meant.  Why do you need to police this term?[/quote]
