  1. “Obviously, Canada is concerned about some of the (positions) that Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights,” Trudeau told Meloni at the start of the meeting.

    Why does the headline say LGBTQ2S+ when Trudeau mentions LGBT. Clickbait to trigger conservatives into calling Trudeau woke?

  2. Where does the 2 come from now? I swear every other month I have to recheck this acronym to not miss yet another groups name having been included in some obscure-esque abbreviation.I got it with LGB., then Q then T before the Q then were was something with an A? or no A? Now there is a 2? And an S too?

  3. Her face = All Europeans when North Americans try to export their polarizing social politics to Europe. Like pls, it’s just causing hate and divide in your own country, we don’t want it.

  4. Are you a prime minister or are you an activist?

    8 years into the job, Trudeau doesn’t seem to know the difference. And it is also very macabre when you consider Canada still sells military equipment to Saudi Arabia – a country infinitely worse on LGBT rights than Italy.

  5. I just wonder why he feels he has the authority to lecture Italy about our LGBT+ rights but doesn’t say anything about Japan’s non-existent ones.

  6. 2SLGBTQI+ is the acronym used by the Government of Canada to refer to the Canadian community. 2S: at the front, recognizes Two-Spirit people as the first 2SLGBTQI+ communities; L: Lesbian; G: Gay; B: Bisexual; T: Transgender; Q: Queer; I: Intersex, considers sex characteristics beyond sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression; +: is inclusive of people who identify as part of sexual and gender diverse communities, who use additional terminologies.

  7. The reactions in this sub to the use of a mere acronym is telling. You’re all frothing at the mouth over the acronym and acting like LGBT+ rights either don’t matter in Europe or that they aren’t under attack in anyway.

  8. 2S is “two-spirit” which is a Native American/First Nations thing, so there aren’t a whole lot of those in Italy. I still don’t understand why no one just says “gender and sexual minorities,” it’s the simplest, most all-encompassing term.

  9. So many people here are using the acronym as an excuse to sprout homophobia.

    For anyone who actually thinks that way: You can just use LGBT/LGBT+. There’s no need to use the whole thing.

  10. Unwieldy acronym aside, this is some of the mildest “calls out” I have ever seen.

    > “Obviously, Canada is concerned about some of the (positions) that Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights,” Trudeau told Meloni at the start of the meeting.”But I look forward to talking with you about that.”

    I have had mild mustard spicier than that.

  11. ITT: Fascination with an acronym while everyone completely sidesteps and ignores the substance of Trudeau’s comments.

  12. I myself am a huge supporter of the LGTV community, their OLED are top-notch. How’s the 2S+ anyone know? I love the inky blacks of my older C1.

  13. You know what’d be easier than that stupid fucking acronym? Just being cool with eachother. This is so unnecessarily stupid. You guys will figure it out eventually.
