Imagine being the original flag designer who faced discrimination and fought for decades and then some asshole comes along and changes your design, calling it “out of date” and then gets corporate deals…

Pretty much sums up the different response to same-sex attraction vs gender identity. One is a threat to heterosexist society that demands people do nothing but be allowed to "love who we love" and the other is regressive gender nonsense wrapped in a pretty pastel bow, perfect for pushing "progressive products" and getting insecure people to part with their money.

What is AA? Asexual / Asshole? Or is Alcoholics Anonymous now an orientation?

All of the Above, you bigot.

Asexual / Aromantic? I mean I know there's an Aromantic Pride flag.

Or maybe the better answer would be that the A's can stand for whatever you want, every word and letter has personal meaning to every different person after all, right?

Ah, okay. But there’s no DD for Demisexual / Duh. Are the Demis not as much an orientation as the Aros? Since they’re both discriminated against just the same...

I'm just guessing that it's Aromantic. It could be Agender or Ambisexual or Ally or Alligator for all I know. XD There might not even be a universally agreed upon answer. I know that back when it was just LGBTQ some people argued over whether the "Q" stood for "Queer" or "Questioning", so what the second "A" stands for could be different depending on who you ask. And I guess Demis are covered by Asexual since they're considered on the "Asexual Spectrum"? I have no clue.

Of course, the spectrum for the black and white issue. How could I forget.

Pride Month was last month. Get with the times, neoliberals.

Sounds like you haven’t heard of Canadian Pride SEASON.

Oh right. Canada, of course.

Please don't tell me that's real.

That David fellow is pretty smart to grift his abomination of a flag so hard.

I would've thought that there is a point where our instinct for this is clearly parody would finally take hold and we could all laugh and ridicule this garbage. But when it starts out from a ridiculous position and you're supposed to take it more seriously the crazier it gets?

At what point can we now say, ok, we get the joke and it's not that funny anymore...

Alphabet soup

That's oddly fitting.

Wrong group here, troll friend. We don't want anything to do with this nonsense, just no one listens to us because we're On ThE wRoNg SiDe Of HiStOrY and we're apparently oppressing all the ladydiques and manginas.

If you can sling a little more snark and subtlety into the comment, it would be fun to watch over on r/LGBT

I'm just stirring the pot a bit. I'm sure there are gays and lesbians out there who despise this shit. As a matter of fact, I know a dude who will go on (and on) about how shit like this and idpol and pride parades make him sick.

This dude has had more dick than any woman I've ever met but he never wanted his sexuality to define him. But no one gets an option anymore.

Yeah, we're right here in this sub. Because most of us got banned from Reddit for being "wrongthinking gays" or whatever...
