Honestly, for a trolling effort, people should put a triangle on the Black Lives Matter flag that represents the struggles faced by Asian American, Native American, and Latino people in the US.

BLM has very effectively explained that they are interested in one issue, and that clouding the water with statements like "ALL LIVES MATTER" is at best counterproductive and at worst erasure. And who can blame them for pointing that out? The thing is, people fall in line. They are able to articulate exactly why it is BLM should be BLM, only to turn around and have that ugly ass flag on their Facebook, smarmily talking about how it needs to represent ALL PEOPLE!!! They believe in progress, after all.

The ever growing alphabet soup is a collection of people who are more and more tangentially connected to each other, under an umbrella of "non-normative" sexuality and/or gender expression. People who identify as elves or whatever want to be included. Any and all mental conditions are "queer" too to some people.
