“A socialist Canadian lawmaker drew gales of mockery for showing just how woke she is — by casually dropping the acronym MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ while speaking at a live press conference.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence found in cross-references, web search, or Wikipedia to confirm or refute the claim about Leah Gazan using the acronym MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ during a press conference.
“The 16-characters in MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ stand for 'Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual,' with the plus-sign encompassing any other gender-identity not covered by the nearly paragraph-long initialism.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence found in cross-references, web search, or Wikipedia to confirm or refute the specific expansion of the acronym MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
“The gigantically long acronym is used by the Canadian government to highlight rates of violence against Indigenous women and girls.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence found in cross-references, web search, or Wikipedia to confirm or refute the claim about the Canadian government using the acronym to highlight violence against Indigenous women and girls.
“Gazan, whose X handle is 'Leah ProudLakota (she/her),' later took to X to tout her appearance at the press conference, in which she scaled back the farcically long acronym to the Canadian standard '2SLGBTQQIA+.'”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While three Wikipedia entries about Leah Gazan and the NDP were found, none specifically mention her use of the '2SLGBTQQIA+' acronym on X after the press conference. The evidence does not confirm or refute the claim.
