Terminology and Acronyms

Terminology and acronyms are continuously evolving. The 2SLGBTQI+ represents:

  • Two-Spirit
  • Lesbian
  • Gay
  • Bisexual
  • Transgender
  • Queer
  • Intersex
  • People who identify as part of sexual and gender diverse communities.

The “2S” recognizes Two-Spirit people as the first 2SLGBTQI+ community. The “I” for intersex considers sex characteristics beyond sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. The “+” is inclusive of people who identify as part of sexual and gender diverse communities who use other terms.
