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+.
It’s not fundamentaly different than the Heritage Foundation trying to find ways to bring back lynchings. People pick a position that suits their narrative and groups eventually evolve extremists. It exists everywhere. This only appears absurd because you’re getting a rare glimpse of LGBTQ+ and neurodivergents trying to self govern.
It’s not absurd. It’s inevitable. These groups have never had a voice before, let alone the freedom to try and self-assemble power.
You judge a nascent phenomena in human civilization with a lense that was forged, refined and normalized watching the dominant power groups who have had fewer of the particularities of these minorities and a lot longer to work out the kinks of governance.
The real kicker here - tell me this well intentioned but unproductive spectacle here is “nuts” while I look at the dominant form of conventional politics in the news daily. It makes me want to pull out a lawnchair, sit naked on the frontlawn, crack a cold one and wait for the nuclear blastwave to free me.

You’re like yes it’s nuts but it’s not regular nuts, it’s rainbow coloured nuts 😶
