UBC to Fly Rainbow Flag in Support of LGBQTTI Students, Faculty and Staff

The University of British Columbia ^ | Feb. 4, 2005 | Media Advisory

[ColoCdn]

Are there any other letters we'd like to add to the acronym LGBQTTI? If so, please add and explain!

[cwiz24]

What in Pete's sake is "two-spirit"?

[orionblamblam]

> lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transexual queer, two-spirit and intersex

And the milk comes *shooting* out the nose...

[68skylark]

I guess this is the new flag of Canada these days.

[Loyalist]

How about CHFPCSF? No, don't ask me to explain.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

This was exactly my question? (On the other hand, maybe we don't want to know.) Possibility: "You can take the boy out of the farm but you can't take the farm out of the boy."

[TheBigB]

Two-spirit? Intersex?? Whisky Tango Foxtrot is this garbage now?

[Unam Sanctam]

They are demonstrating their hatred and lack of support for anyone with sincere religious or moral beliefs in the sinfulness of homosexual activity. What an exclusionary and divisive action!

[West Coast Conservative]

[johniegrad]

How about RR, TIG, LS?

[massgopguy]

Wouldn't having their own flag make them a Separatist Movement?

[Loyalist]

Two-spirit: Homosexual Indians. (Rawhide!)
Intersex: Hermaphrodites.

I didn't want to know, but I was forced to find out.

[Mulch]

Canada is now officially a doomed society.

[cwiz24]

Why don't we all just save a lot of time and call them what they are: confused.

[AnAmericanMother]

Looks like they accidentally left out a "T".

This is beyond ridiculous. I guess they need every POSSIBLE supporter they can get?

[digger48]

I can hear the swishing and sashaying from here.

[aft_lizard]

they forgot the other t-s, try-sexuals those who will TRY anything at all.

[Dashing Dasher]

Can you be a transexual and not queer?
Let's get this straight (pun intended) ...
So, shouldn't it be

• lesbian (homosexual "woman"),
• gay (homosexual "men"),
• bisexual (people who can't pick a team),
• transgender (people who picked the wrong team and then switched)
• transexual (people who dress funny - but are still hetero)
• transexual queer (people who dress funny and are gay or lesbian)
• 2-spirit (gay or lesbian Native Americans - they get their own group)
• and intersex

Intersex = The Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) is devoted to systemic change to end shame, secrecy, and unwanted genital surgeries for people born with an anatomy that someone decided is not standard for male or female.

I have a headache....

[cwiz24]

Homosexual Indians need their own title? What about homosexual Poles? Or homosexual Australians? This acronym could be a whole lot longer once these freaking Canadians really sort out who's who.
