The part of me that wants to believe in the benefit of the doubt is hoping there was already a rainbow and they're just using June as a reason to add more specific flags? I'm too tired today to think that they've forgotten the default flag...

As far as I'm aware the flags are already in game so none of them are new. I don't care enough to know all the flags but some comments were pushing a mlm flag so I'm guessing that isn't included there either. It's a real example of bill Maher's skit. Gays aren't cool enough for the gay pride event.

Gays aren't cool enough for the gay pride event.

And that's a big part of the problem, isn't it? The idea that you have to be COOL-- that this has ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH "coolness"! No! It's simply about sexual orientation! A neutral trait! Are you a homosexual man? Then you're in! For an LGB event, all you gotta be is same-sex attracted. Whether you're the certifiably uncoolest person who ever lived, the very embodiment of Weird Al Yankovic's "White & Nerdy", matters not one whit. In fact... it'd be GOOD to see the "uncool" people there. To show that everyone who's SSA "belongs"... and that "gay" is NOT a trendy thing, or a fashion statement. Both of which might serve to keep the TQ+ types far, FAR away (fingers crossed!).
