Am I the only one that thinks all these flags are honestly stupid? Yes, I mean the bisexual, gay male...etc flags too, all flags except the original rainbow one honestly seem pointless to me.

What purpose do they even serve? I thought that the original rainbow one was already inclusive of all the sexualities and races, so why are there all these mini-flags? Just saying because I find them all stupid, I find it weird that people are getting obsessed over creating flags, anybody now creates a gender or sexuality and makes a flag for it, I wish we just get rid of them all.

Same. I never understood the need for more flags as the original meaning of the rainbow was that it includes everyone. You see how ridiculous it gets when pride flags became like sort of Sonic OCs - every 13 year old Twitter user keeps inventing a new one for every new gender invented.

This is pretty much how I feel, with the exception of the labrys lesbian flag because I know a lot of lesbians are attached to it and it represents our unique struggles. Lesbophobia is at the intersection of homophobia and misogyny, so it sets us apart from homosexual men AND bi-het women in a way that makes it important for us to have our own spaces and community that only focuses on Lesbian issues, if we don't speak up and proudly carve out space for ourselves, we are forgotten and subsumed by the GB. The Trans movement and "cotton ceiling" have shown me the necessity of Lesbian specific spaces. We were ignored and demonized by GBT over our concerns with T UNTIL gay men started getting the same shit from cocky females with gender delusions.

Eta: I use the labrys flag here for similar reasons, I want it to be known I'm a lesbian. Though in my personal life, I prefer the OG Pride flag and it's the one I have hanging in my bedroom and take to Pride events. I think it represents the spirit of the LGB movement best, same-sex attracted people fighting for the right to live openly as our whole selves and not have to hide who we love in the shadows.
