It’s a MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ World and We’re Just Living In It
12th April 2026
For the record, as Jim Treacher helpfully points out, it stands for “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and “additional identities (“+”).
The excitement was started by a Canadian New Democratic Party member of parliament, Leah Gazan, who complained that not enough money was being spent to “deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.”
I didn’t know that MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ was a ethnic group. Perhaps someone might lend her a dictionary and point out that ‘genocide’ doesn’t mean what she apparently thinks it means.
Treacher tried and failed to keep a straight face in reporting on this phenomenon.
I’ll bet.
