Queer people are getting their rights violated and removed in real time, and now we have ppl from all across the political spectrum arguing over a flag I have never seen before.

At this point, I'm convinced that the flag is an intentional psyop designed to sow division in the community over colours on a rectangle to distract from actual issues.

That flag design is a travesty. I'm sorry, but it just is.

The progress flag looks okay, but this just is not it.

Isn't the rainbow supposed to symbolize diversity? I mean, maybe you want to highlight a specific identity, but then each also happens to have it's own flag nowadays which you can use...

It's turning into a queer coat of arms, and I'm honestly kinda down with that :D
