I’m enjoying my original pride flag more every day

Inclusivity at the expense of others is not good. Somethings are meant to be exclusive, like sexual orientation. Forcing inclusivity where it doesn't belong is harmful, not good.

I have never owned a flag nor intended to but now I might actually go out and buy an original rainbow flag while I can.

Person who wrote that is already one flag behind, they left out the prostitution emblem.

From my understanding, the rainbow was about as inclusive as one could conceptually get. It's light, broken into all the frequencies of light. To me, it includes every possible permutation of humanity. All races, all sexualities etc.

But no, hormone powered pharmaceutical nutjobs have to find a way to find EVERYTHING offensive, one way or another. Fuck those guys.

Reminds me of my first ever post on this sub.

These people are so easy to predict.

It was never updated except for this recent change. The only other change is because the fabric was too expensive to make pink stripe.

Pride flag always gets updated...

Fucking when? These people gaslight so fucking much.

I'm waiting for the day the giant pride flag at Castro & Market Street in SF is replaced with this monstrosity.

  1. This dumb fucking TQ+ flag is copyrighted (see this previous post about it).

  2. The guy who this copyrighted flag is making a bunch of money selling it to corporations, claiming the flag represents "LGBTQ+" people, and refusing to donate or share any of the proceeds with any "LGBTQ+" charities or other people. I do not want to support him.

  3. The concept of "gender identity" is homophobic, and the pink/blue/white trans colors are often used to represent gender identity beliefs. Might as well throw a Christian cross on the Pride flag while you're at it.

No thanks.

Yeah, no. This is like sticking an ugly-ass chevron in national flags that have been around for decades/centuries and saying, "Get with the times, Luddite!". And the Rainbow flag is actually more recognizable around the world than the flags of most countries.

They never seem to mention that the rainbow flag's colors do not represent demographic entities. If you change this flag to slap on some demographic entities, you are missing the point entirely.
