On January 24, the U.S. Department of State website, under the travel advisories section, removed the letter “T” from LGBT, leaving only “LGB” in its advisory section, which informs American travellers about foreign countries’ sexuality-related laws.

U.S. Government Uses Only “LGB” on State Websites, While Canada Retains 2SLGBTQ+

This move is part of a broader set of anti-woke measures introduced by the Trump administration, including an executive order on day one recognizing only two genders.

Canada’s lengthy acronym

Meanwhile, in Canada, federal government websites with similar travel advisories continue to use the term “2SLGBTQI+.”

The acronym stands for “Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and the plus sign, which includes all other identity groups, including racial minorities and sex workers.”

In the French version of government websites, the term is translated as “2ELGBTQI+.”

The Canadian government also uses the expanded acronym “2SLGBTQQIA+” when discussing missing and murdered Indigenous women in the National Inquiry.

Additionally, the federal government provides an online glossary explaining commonly used acronyms in sexual identity politics.

According to Statistics Canada, approximately 1.3 million Canadians identify under the umbrella of these multiple identity groups.

This accounts for roughly 4.4% of Canada’s population of 40 million, with the highest percentage being among Canadians aged 15 to 24.
