Okay I support all these groups but extending the acronym again is NOT helping the cause 😭

"Queer" is a good alternative and while you might find some old-school pushback against it, especially from older LGBT+ people, it's mostly been reclaimed by younger generations.
The problem with the English language is that the acronym that was adopted doesn't come across as intuitively inclusive. It also seems to promote gatekeeping in practice. What English needs is a strong word that just encompasses all. In Norwegian, for example, there's "skeiv" - meaning bent, or wonky, but a generally accepted term for queer people. No one questions your identity under it; if you're not cisgendered and heterosexual, then you're skeiv.

Yeah that's the other issue; there are still members of the community who prefer the acronym. No one can really agree.
Regarding the addition about Canada - it makes sense, but while the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women part I've never seen used here, we do include 2S for 2Spirit. A lot of the First Nations have distinct identifies for two-spirit people, which fall under the umbrella but have distinct cultural significance, hence the differentiation.
