    For those that view this particular version of the pride flag redundant: Yes, you are technically correct. The rainbow is supposed to symbolize inclusion.

    However, recent political movements seek to divide and exclude particular groups from the queer community, namely trans people. By choosing a flag that explicitly includes those colors, you are explicitly denouncing that division.

      I agree, we dont need more than the rainbow flag. But I feel people can put on it whatever they want. Except their genitals maybe.

      With the current significance of the movement represented by the “LGB Alliance” I don’t think it’s undue to stress the T.

        Tbf, a lot of that was driven by the wave of transwomen getting mad that lesbians aren’t attracted to them. And I never saw any pushback against these posts in the trans community.

        Was there right-wing groups amplifying the reach of these comments? Yes. Should the entire trans community suffer for a small number of assholes among their ranks? Hell no.

        Regardless, the lack of pushback in the trans community and its effects shows the need for groups to self-regulate to some degree. There’s assholes in every group, and pretending that there aren’t is dangerous.

    This flag fucking sucks. You’d think gay people could design a flag worth a damn but all they’ve done is slap ugly ass colour conflicts on an already colour saturated base.

    Like take a look at the original lesbian flag before suddenly the community decided corporate branding was ideal theme to mimic.

    Did it have to be one of those ugly and redundant derivatives of the perfectly fine rainbow flag of diversity?

      Given fascism currently focuses on trans and black/non-white people and actively tries to separare them from the community: Yes. Yes it did.

      The black and brown also represent a completely different movement, it should just be the rainbow flag.
