No it’s not, it’s adding random extras to the acronym. LGBTQ covers the range. Add the + if you really want to. Anything past that and it’s baiting ridicule and defeating the purpose of an acronym.
Two-spirit” refers to a person who identifies as having both a masculine and a feminine spirit, and is used by some Indigenous people to describe their sexual, gender and/or spiritual identity.As an umbrella term it may encompass same-sex attraction and a wide variety of gender variance, including people who might be described in Western culture as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, gender queer, cross-dressers or who have multiple gender identities. Two-spirit can also include relationships that could be considered poly.

I mean, it’s for 2 spirit. Pretty rude comment to make on an article like this by the way.

They are not random letter and numbers, they represent groups not included in Queer.
It’s also Canada focusing on indigenous peoples for its inclusion in the list. 2S is usually at the front in Canada.
That’s what the plus is for
Bro what groups on the list arent included in queer? Or the +. Again just asking for ridicule.
2S, Intersection and Asexual are not included in the Queer/Questioning. You misunderstand the usage of the +
Genuinely curious, what is 2 spirit? I try to stay hip with the lingo but that one’s new to me
