That people may have once (or even still) thought that sexual identity was rooted in a "soul" doesn't change what they were trying to express with it's employment.
"That people may have once (or even still) thought that sexual identity was rooted in a "soul" Ahhhh. I never knew that or even thought of that. I wonder if there is a good place to ask First Nations peoples specifically about this term.
My big problem with it is that the government is using the term since it's from First Nations religions. I think I will try to get some info directly from different First Nations people and depending on what they say I will either have a major problem with it after that, or no problem at all
Thanks for the talk everyone
