... 2?
- It has some additional security features not present in versions 1 and 1.1
  
  Yes but they also added telemetry.
- Two spirit
  It represents various indigenous beliefs.
  
  Also sometimes in front of the acronym like this: 2SLGBTQI+
- Should wait until at least 2.3, there's always a pile of bugs in the major version updates cause they want to get the update released on a marketing schedule.
- It's mostly a texture and engine change; the content remains similar, about as different as a major patch.
  Edit: shit, yes, also 2fa
  It's a live service subscription and micro transactions model
  Lots of back end improvements, like improved multi threading on most architectures and everyone doing more squats
  
  When you think about it, a transition is kinda a patch to update object definitions
- Two spirit. It definitely falls under the Q umbrella, but it's pulled out sometimes for emphasis.
- This is why I just go with "queer" if I'm being general. One syllable, and I don't have to remember as much or stay on top of new additions.
  
  yeah, you know, I'm all for inclusion and making everyone feel seen, but I feel like you have to draw the line somewhere before things start getting ridiculous and we have an initialism that's like, 10+ characters long. I was cool with extending it to a point, but it is genuinely getting to the point of absurdity if you were to try speaking it aloud.
  edit: idea: we gotta find an acronym. And I don't just mean one acronym, I mean a good, well-branded acronym like NASA, but one that also changes for every time we as a species decide another character is warranted. We gotta make an acronym with expansion in mind
  
  Or all of the variations across countries.. I mainly use "queer" also
- New LGBTQ just dropped
In a lot of ways Canada is a better America than America.
- Always has been.
  
  But won't always be if we aren't vigilant.
We have LGBTQ2 before GTA6
"Amid global decline"
Totally not uplifting.
That's awesome. Now, when are you gonna remove the law barring US LGBT refugees?
Are we really that far gone yet? No, but we're headed there.
- That would require accepting anyone as a refugee from the US, and that is extremely unlikely to happen, ever.
  
  I mean, iirc Canada already accepts some LGBT refugees from other parts of the world. So unless you're saying that everyone in the US is queer, it seems like the obvious thing to do would be to apply the same standards to US LGBT refugees as LGBT refugees from other parts of the world.
  
  Don't know about Canada specifically but as far as i know asylum laws are about having a valid reason, so being from a specific place is less often a valid reason than being from a minority (can also be religious or ethnical) or having certain political views. They would likely sooner accept for example Amish , indigenous or democratic people only before just accepting anyone from the US. I think you're wrong in believing that is unlikely to happen if you see how anyone with a Hispanic demeanor is being treated right now.
  
  They are not sending their best. Lmao
