Trudeau's troubles with LGBT+ acronyms

Justin Trudeau likes to present him as the wokest leader in all the west. The Canadian PM has suffered numerous cringeworthy moments during his six year premiership in his efforts to prove his ‘right-on’ credentials – whether that be correcting women who refer to ‘mankind’ rather than ‘peoplekind’ or promising to avoid an economic ‘she-cession.’

But now, fresh from his feminist triumphs, Trudeau is trying to ingratiate himself with the LGBT+ community. Unfortunately his ventures into allyship have so far proved to be about as successful as his attempts to distance himself from his blackface pictures. First, there was his embarrassing efforts during the election to even pronounce the word ‘LGBT’ – a clip of which swiftly went viral as he repeatedly stumbled over the acronym.
