I tend to check social media much less than the average person, so this might be a really dumb question, but...
Why is it a brick? Does it symbolize something? Is it tool? Or a weapon? Or just some form of art?

LGBT history, I believe - the Stonewall Riots were a pivotal event in LGBT awareness and fighting for their rights. As it was a, well, riot, bricks were used, as is common for people spontaneously deciding to fight the power - a sort of "We didn't come here to brawl, but we'll tear up the streets if you want to make it one" energy.
Ah, so it's symbolic and artistic. That's cool, I dig the creativity 🙂
Thanks for the explanation.
It's rumour that the riot "officially begun" with a brick being thrown too.
And that brick was thrown by a trans woman. That's a definitely fact for sure
🥱 Brick
☺️ Brick with built-in sling for maximum control and power
Honestly it just needs a slot for the phone and it becomes fashionable, practical and tactical.
Or, maximum range.
Actual bricks are rough and crumble a little bit occasionally, you'd probably want to coat that in some epoxy.
Which will make it easier to clean!
It's multipurpose, it celebrates pride, and it can be used to smack a fascist with if they get in your face about it <3

That's no brick; it's a universal multi-tool.
To paraphrase, shout proudly and carry a brick.
