When I first heard about this a few days ago, I dismissed it as a fake news gimmick. I mean, who would be dumb enough to actually say something like this?
Turns out I was wrong. Jim Treacher reports:
Okay, let me try this: MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
That stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and additional identities.
Again, that’s MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. I find it helps to go three letters at a time. Like when you’re giving your account number to the customer service guy, who says his name is Steve but he has an Indian accent.
The speaker there is named Leah Gazan. (Oops. There’s a warning sign right there.) Who is a member of [the] Canadian Parliament. She’s in the NDP, whatever that is.
There's more at the link.
Rick Moran adds:
MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ is an all-inclusive, all-encompassing, balls-to-the-wall, slam bang, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am acronym for the totality of the gender bending, sexually "unique" population of Canada.
. . .
Budgeting for each and every identity, preference, and fantasy spirit in the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community would blow up the Canadian budget.
I fondly recall when sexual preference identities were simple: LGB and maybe T, XYZ, believe you me. It was easy. It was a simpler time then. We didn't have to worry about offending someone by using the wrong pronoun. We didn't have to worry about making some poor, disturbed "T" or "Q" explode in tears from being misgendered.
It would be so much easier (and we'd be less likely to offend) if the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ "community" would just walk around with name tags identifying which gender they are, what their sexual identity is, and most importantly, what pronouns they prefer to be referred to.
Yes, that's a joke. No Nazi "Star of David" references, please.
Not that I'd use them. But since misgendering is going to be an Olympic sport in 2030, it would be helpful to know who we should insult.
Again, more at the link.
And yet . . . even when they come up with absolute howlers such as the acronym above . . . the LGBWTF crowd actually expect us to take them seriously. They (well, some of them, anyway) expect us to take the acronym seriously.
What are they smoking??? Whatever it is, where can I buy some? If I'm going to have to read, or listen to, or endure that sort of crap any longer, I'm going to need all the help I can get!
Oy, gevalt...

They demand to be taken seriously, and then when someone does, they demand yet more. It's never enough and never will be.
If you've read any of Schlichter's "Kelly Turnbull" books you'll not be surprised at this "evolution." Those were supposed to be fiction, dang it.
I, too, would to know what it is that they are smoking. So I can avoid the f.. er, SNOT out of it.
The sad part is that the topic under discussion--that is, the fact that Indian/native women get murdered or go missing at a truly alarming rate--is actually quite serious, but Ms. Gazan is discussing it in a completely unserious way. It's baffling and maddening.
