ignorant ig·no·rant/ˈignərənt/
Adjective: Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
Let me make absolutely certain that I am clear. If one does not know, for example, what the acronym LGBT stands for and doesn't bother to look it up on Google (or elsewhere) when they come across it and wonder what it means, I believe they are ignorant.

Well then touche, as I have no need to know what it means as it is irrelevant in my life your ignorance falls under meaning 3.
The assumption that I care enough about lesbians, gays, bi-sexual, transgender.. or is it transvestite, still not sure on the Q though, to Google an acronym for it. You obviously were ignorant of that fact.
I would say that in your line of work it is imperative to keep up with this kind of thing, but I choose to keep myself ignorant then as it has no place in my life or those I choose to interact with. Say what you will but I have my convictions and stand by them.
A little side note, I am not alone on this. They just had to install a third bathroom in many state buildings here at taxpayers expense due to the fact men and women were uncomfortable with those in transition coming into whoever's restroom. These transitions or what ever they are called are also payed for by the taxpayer. Once again a few freeks running the system a muck.
