It isn't a fad for the sake of it thing. It's important simply because millions of individuals have suffered
harassment, humiliation and abuse during their lifetime simply because they were born a certain way.

'We don’t know if your baby’s a boy or a girl': growing up intersex
[...]
Jack’s specific diagnosis is rare, but being born with a blend of female and male characteristics is surprisingly common: worldwide, up to 1.7% of people have intersex traits, roughly the same proportion of the population who have red hair, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights .. https://unfe.org/system/unfe-65-Intersex_Factsheet_ENGLISH.pdf . The British charity DSD Families .. http://www.dsdfamilies.org/ .. estimates that around 130 babies born in this country each year need investigations before their sex is assigned .. http://dsdfamilies.org/docs/Midwives%20article.pdf . Other people may have problems with their hormones that aren’t visible at birth.
P - Jack’s parents knew he was different before he was born, when a routine scan couldn’t determine if he was a boy or a girl. Juliet was referred to a consultant at the local hospital, followed by meetings with geneticists and neonatologists, blood tests and an amniocentesis. She was told her baby was genetically male, but that this didn’t necessarily make him a boy. “It was very hard. I’d just assumed that XX is girl and XY is boy,” Juliet says. “Because people don’t know there are variations, when they occur it’s a freakish thing. But actually, he is just a normal child.”

LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or sometimes questioning), and others. The "plus" represents other sexual identities including pansexual and Two-Spirit. The first four letters of the acronym have been used since the 1990s, but in recent years there has been an increased awareness of the need to be inclusive of other sexual identities to offer better representation.

The acronym is used to represent a diverse range of sexualities and gender-identities, referring to anyone who is transgender and/or same/similar gender attracted.
