Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI), for those not familiar with the term.

.

That said, the rainbow flag crowd far outnumbered the dogwhistling "parents rights" crowd in Winnipeg today. And I'm hearing similar in many other cities.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)

Thanks for the de-reference on the jargon. I'm not in a spot where I use an initialism like that enough to retain it.

I'm so happy to see this acronym catching on. I think it's much more inclusive. I actually recall suggesting it to someone like 5 years ago, although I think it should technically be SOGIM with the M standing for minorities. So if you're talking about taking to school kids about crushes, or what they feel it means to be a boy, that's SOGI education (inclusive of cis het) while members of the lgbtqia2s+ community would be SOGIM.

That's good to hear. I was out for a walk at lunch and went past the Legislature. From my vantage I could only make out the nutters, which was depressing. I didn't have time to really investigate.
