Geee Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Front Page Magazine Canada warns 2SLGBTQI+ persons about traveling outside of Canada - especially in the United States. “Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons,” the Canadian government is advising. These 2SLGBTQI+ persons “could face certain barriers and risks when you travel outside Canada,” particularly in the USA. “2S” means “Two-Spirit,” a term that “reflects complex Indigenous understandings of gender roles, spirituality, and the long history of sexual and gender diversity in Indigenous cultures.” According to the Canadian government, 2SLGBTQI+ “recognizes Two-Spirit people as the first 2SLGBTQI+ communities.” LGBTQ are, respectively, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. “I” means “intersex” and “considers sex characteristics beyond sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, and + is “inclusive of people who identify as part of sexual and gender diverse communities, who use additional terminologies.” This ever-increasing aggregation of letters, numbers and symbols comes billed as an acronym. It is actually a construct, in a special kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 DHS Allocates $20 Million to Black Colleges and Universities and LGBTQIA+ Organizations for Violence and Terrorism Prevention The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a hefty sum of $20 million in grants awarded through the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2023. The TVTP Grant Program, administered by the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), aims to help local communities strengthen their abilities to combat targeted violence and terrorism. DHS said that 41% of this year’s grant recipients are devoted to underserved populations, including one Historically Black College and University (HBCU), seven Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), one organization serving indigenous/Native American persons, one organization serving the LGBTQIA+ community, and five organizations serving rural communities. Critics are concerned that the grant program may skew disproportionately against conservatives or be leveraged to target them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
