Okay, I'm not joking, this is real:
A 2SLGBTQI+ travel warning!!
Yo Canada, I think you missed a few letters on that acronym, so maybe it's you who's the bigot.
I didn't believe this tweet at first, so here's a credible news source which I will definitely be pulling quotes from because some of them are just too good to leave out.
Yup, America is basically Iran now!
Some places in America, believe it or not, they make you use the bathroom that coincides with your actual gender. Can you imagine?!?
And I heard there are people in the U.S. who don't want kids cutting off their private parts!
What bigotry!!
Here's Reuters:
Canada, citing the risk of potential dangers, is advising LGBTQ travelers planning trips to the United States to check how they might be affected by recently passed laws in some states, Ottawa said on Tuesday.
Anti-LGBTQ demonstrations in the United States last year rocketed 30-fold compared with 2017 and legal moves to restrict LGBTQ rights are on the rise.
Canada's travel advisory for the United States now includes a cautionary message for those who consider themselves two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or intersex - or 2SLGBTQI+ for short.
2SLGBTQI+....for short.
The comedy writes itself in 2023. There's literally nothing I can say to make that more of a joke than it already is.
Oh look, I have more jokes for you.
Here to explain why this warning has been issued, let's welcome Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (try to take her seriously, now):
Okay, that was quite the word salad, but I think this is my favorite quote:
I know that our travel advisories are done very professionally. We have professional professionals in the government whose job is to look carefully around the world and to monitor whether there are particular dangers to particular groups of Canadians. That's their job, and it's the right thing to do.
"Professional professionals."
Sounds about right!
Mark this down as another practical joke from our neighbors to the north. And a very good one, I must add.
