If the initialism is the most significant part of this story for you, just fuck off and find someone other place to slowly cultivate your nascent fascism. I know a fucking protest you could join.
Gosh this comment section... You guys can use LGBTQ+ if you prefer, just like OP/the article can use 2SLGBTQIA+. Personally, I just say "queer community" most of the time. Use whatever, but people going off about "omg they keep adding letters!!" pisses me off. Haven't you heard anything about what the queer community is going through currently, specifically trans and non-binary people? So what if we want more letters, even a number! Each time sometime decides to whine about the gay initialism we just add another letter :)
I was thinking that whenever I see the acronym expand that more groups are banding together for acceptance.
In any case, I just found out about the Toronto No Space for Hate stuff now through this post. I'll probably go this weekend if it's still happening it says till the 25th.
Is there a way to follow what's going on so that I can plan to be at counter protests when this stuff happens? I need to travel anywhere from 150 to 300 km (one way), so I can't just show up on a whim.
I'm working on a travel and accommodation budget for this kind of thing, but just because I'm retired doesn't mean I can be 1.5-3 hours away from home without some kind of planning.
