MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ is an acronym used primarily in Canada. ...No, it is lengthy to emphasize that it is excluding straight White men.The acronym stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two‑Spirit (a term that is used by some First Nations to describe people who embody both masculine and feminine spirits), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual people. ...
The full acronym has been used for years in government, advocacy, and community contexts to emphasize intersectionality. It is intentionally lengthy in order to name everyone who has historically been left out of national conversations about violence, justice, and safety.
See also this video, which complains about people mocking the term and taking it "out of context".

Straight male "Eskimos" are also not included.
It is my sincere belief that 'Alphabet People' will eventually all go extinct due to their ridiculous identity name becoming so long that that no one can remember or pronounce it. Gay people are actually beginning to say "To hell with you, we're going back to being LGB. Don't darken our doorstep any longer'.
No one can take this run on acronym seriously anymore. It's longer than a strong wifi password at this point.
Yes, I am sure a lot of gays regret joining forces with the transgenders.
