Now the all-inclusive rainbow flag, which worked perfectly well as a symbol of unity for decades, has been distorted by campaigners determined to cram it with as many new symbols and colours as possible to promote their own idiosyncratic and decidedly niche causes.

Except it's never been all-inclusive because it has never included straight people. Which is fine - straight people generally don't give a fuck, but don't pretend like everyone was always welcome into your clubhouse.

Ironically, as they added more shit to that mess of a flag in their quest for more "inclusiviity", it became clear they didn't want the flag to be pro-diversity, but rather anti-straight while "cis" male. That's the real meaning of the flag.

A red umbrella symbol to represent sex workers was added in 2020.

A "red umbrella" which consists of 6 red triangles.

The human trafficking union wanted their 6 pieces of pedo pie.

It looks like a bloody arsehole so accurately represents what these women go through on a daily basis.

Even gay people . . . ? We've been plagued by them for 50 years now, back to 1973 when Sylvia Rivera grabbed a mic and told all gay people what assholes we were. And lesbians have really taken the brunt of the trans ascendancy. Try to find any lesbian space that isn't now overrun by men in dresses demanding sexual access to lesbian bodies.

I used to belong to a group that was for gay males only. It's now completely overrun by TQ+.

Did I misstate something? I apologise, I was just trying to paraphrase as best as I could.

No, I was just trying to point out that gay people have been bearing the brunt of bizarre TQ+ claims for a while, like them claiming that they are entirely responsible for gay rights.

Britain is a nation of liberal-minded citizens, the vast majority of whom believe that everyone should be treated equally, irrespective of sexual orientation. So flying the Pride flag is surely just a sign of support for these minority groups, right?

Wrong, according to the actor Laurence Fox. This week, Fox posted a video online in which he burned Pride-themed bunting in his back garden. At the end of the video, he described the flag as a ‘celebration of the mutilation of children’.

As you’d expect, it sparked outrage. Setting fire to a symbol that has long been associated with equality for gay people strikes many as reactionary and grotesque. What’s more, Fox’s words won’t make any sense to most people.

That is because many are not aware of the insidious shift that has taken place in what the Pride flag actually represents today.

The truth is that a sinister movement has hijacked Pride for its own nakedly political ends. The best way to understand how this has happened is to trace the evolution of the flag since it was designed by the American artist Gilbert Baker in 1978.

Baker’s flag was a simple rainbow. It had eight stripes, later whittled down to six. This is the flag with which we all became familiar. It symbolised joy and hope and equal rights for gay people, and was flown in Pride parades and atop gay bars, restaurants and coffee shops.

But that flag is rarely seen these days, especially in Britain and America. The shift began in 2017, when the ‘Office of LGBT Affairs’ in Philadelphia added black and brown stripes to include racial minorities.

This was a bizarre modification. After all, the point of the rainbow was that it represented everybody, regardless of race: there was no white stripe, after all.

But the floodgates had been opened. Activists decided that unless they were specifically included on the flag, then they were not welcome.

And so more changes soon came. A pink, blue and white chevron representing trans people was added in 2018 by the activist Daniel Quasar. This became known as the ‘Progress Pride’ flag.

It’s a long article and it goes into so much of what we discuss here. It’s the kind of article that you could send to anyone that asks why the pride flag changed or why the fuss the over “trans kids”. Well worth reading and bookmarking.

The fact that it was a rainbow in the first place, was to make kids think that gayness is ok. The whole thing is brimming with paedophilia

This is what I hope spreads like wildfire:

"The Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service, the disgraced paediatric former gender clinic run by the NHS, is, at last, due to close following a devastating report by Dr Hilary Cass that determined it was not safe for youngsters.

History will show the Tavistock to have been one of the greatest medical scandals in recent British history. In her book Time To Think, journalist Hannah Barnes found that between 80 and 90 per cent of the adolescents referred to the clinic were same-sex attracted — that is, probably gay.

Studies conclusively show a strong correlation between ‘gender non-conformity’ in youth and homosexuality in later life. But rather than allowing girls to be tomboys, or boys to be effeminate, the new religion of gender identity fluttering on the Pride flag encourages such kids to believe they are ‘trapped in the wrong body’."

can't really denounce "conversion therapy" or cite dysphoria when you, uh, permanently neuter and hormone-swap teens whose parents insist they're a bit DIFFERETN, or that the male/female couple doesn't need dysphoria to be queer (but you can't say "fag," not at least until 2025 when the hivemind of college sophomores that live on Twitter reverse everything like they did with "womxn")

Said it before and I'll say it again, be proud of your achievements not your incidentals.
