I originally thought it was an excessive amount of letters to describe those of us under the rainbow but no, it makes more sense in the context of the article I do not really agree with combining the two but to each their own I guess.
MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ stands for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual+. It’s derived in part from the more commonly used initialisms MMIWG (missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls) and 2SLGBTQ+.
No one else uses that many letters. She bleneded 2 initialisms together, and added some extra letters.
MMIWG2S, most people just use MMIWG
LGBTQQIA+, which most people just use LGBT+ or “The queer community”.
But it is distracting from the real issue, the federal government cutting funding towards programs designed to prevent violence.
