I'm pretty sure Pride has lost its marbles this year. At volunteer training, we were presented with the following acronym: LGBTTIQQ2S.
In case you're on the edge of your seat wondering what that stands for, its: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersex, queer, questioning and two-spirited.
It's not just Gay Pride. It's not even Lesbian and Gay Pride. It's anyone who has ever had a queer thought in their head!
Questioning?! I'll say questioning. Questioning what radical politicos thought they were doing anyone any favours by including every tiny little subset of homo goodness under the giant Pride umbrella.
Why don't we just call it the No Straight People Pride? It'd certainly be easier to remember.
