No offense to op, but I feel like good plans are not good news yet.

It’s good to question intent of any op. I’m personally was also really happy with the no schadenfreude rule, so no downvotes from me. This feels as the maximum level of political news for me, but because there is less of that here lately my tolerance has grown as well.

This would be schadenfreude to me if the point was to discredit the politician / the party in question. I can’t tell if that is the intent, but maybe if i had a different world view (and thought she did something bad), i could have.

I don’t feel this is the best article on this topic for this community either, but ‘politician asks criminals to stand up for the vulnerable’ isn’t schadenfreude in my books

Totally true, which is why i myself most of the time use the words gay and queer (and totally enjoy using those words knowing what they were originally used for). But that doesn’t make the letter soup a bad thing. The ‘hardness’ of it is functional. There might be someone out there who demands all letters are used and in the right order, but don’t mistake me for someone who thinks it is fair to demand representation, respect and understanding isn’t something you claim so i believe you are totally free to go for the easier thing. 0 judgement from my side.

Just add a + to the letters you remember if you don’t want to use a term like gay or queer. Also, i have never met someone upset because their letter was omitted.

On the one hand yes, that’s why at some point people started using the + to make up for every missing letter. An easy way out would to be to say non-hetero-non-cis-folk but then you still miss some groups. You could just say gay people, or queer people, most people will still feel represented. But I like the long string of letters which is a true abomination because of all those letters, exactly because each letter represents someone (a bunch of them even) and it allows for conversation going. The number 2 for example got a lot of people who read this post informed about two-spirited people who maybe never heard those poeple exist before. That matters a lot. If you see for example now republican politicians talking about biological sex even though they never seem to have heard about intersex people it shows how much of the hate comes from not knowing and not understanding. If you’ve read all this, I hope you’ve not read it as an attack because it is not. You going on google is exactly the point. But if you don’t like doing that, please know (most) gays dont believe you have to, people know they are a minority and often don’t mind just telling you about their sexuality or gender when you ask.

Don’t know about Canada specifically but as far as i know asylum laws are about having a valid reason, so being from a specific place is less often a valid reason than being from a minority (can also be religious or ethnical) or having certain political views. They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you’re wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now.

Also sometimes in front of the acronym like this: 2SLGBTQI+

A jury in Denver, Colorado, ordered Mr Lindell to pay $2.3m (£1.7m) to Eric Coomer, a former security and product strategy director at Dominion Voting Systems.

Lindell falsely accused Mr Coomer of helping to rig the 2020 vote, which was won by Joe Biden. During the two-week trial, Lindell stuck by baseless claims that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.
