I looked for an explanation of the new V shape and circle. im surprised that the V has black and brown stripes which represent ‘people of colour’, but no white stripe. to me this suggests that the flag is designed by white people..who are graciously including ‘people of colour’ as being allowed in the gang. apologies for the bad explanation! But isn’t this a bit batshit/ awful?

I won't be happy until they include eczema.

I won't rest until there is representation of those who stub their toe on the corner of the table when they walk by.

It really is the worst!

In a further insult to vexillologists across the globe, the designer of the 'Intersex Inclusive Pride Flag' decided to re-release it with an autism update:

Well.
That flag is an abomination right there

The native flag I wanted for my house vs the racist, homophobic, colonist one flying at every community center🥲

Hells bells I already have a "queer" pride flag that encompasses same-sex attracted native people, it's literally just the old one without all the TQ colonizers encroaching space that isn't theirs.

I find this whole thing hard to take seriously, every time pride week is celebrated in my workplace the acronym has additional letters and the flag has changed.
I don't understand why all orientations can't unite under the traditional rainbow flag without the need for a direct representation to their 'label' with a colour on the flag.
I suppose this is representative of modern society where everybody needs their own label rather than just existing.
The current LGBTQIA2S+ will soon be LGBTQIA2S+BIPOCWETFZKVUY with an all encompassing rainbow polka striped flag that looses it original meaning.
It's fast becoming insincere and making the woke a laughing stock.
Sure unite under a flag, but accept that belonging does not need to directly include your particular affirmation.

I’m confused my the inclusion of intersex unless like the rest it’s for intersex lgb people Only?

They've been co-opted as evidence that sex is a spectrum. No-one asked.

Yes, the hospital bridge is INSANE. And inviting the flag designer? What is going on?
especially as they have a new flag every week it seems. They’ll have to redo the bridge pdq.
and another thing… zebra crossings! I don’t need a trans zebra crossing! I really don’t. Especially as I didn’t realise it was a crossing, how dangerous is that?

Someone on Twitter this weekend was getting awfully excited about a train emblazoned with a Pride flag. Because obviously there’s not enough visibility already for this rarely-glimpsed symbol.

More worryingly, a London hospital was having an opening ceremony for a new bridge (iirc) connecting two buildings and they’ve spent an unspecified amount on having the whole structure smothered in the Pride flag. The designer of the 'intersex-inclusive flag' (their description), was invited to the grand opening. People on Twitter were keen to know why there was money to lavish on this sort of thing when the NHS is on its knees, and also why the actual hospital was using the term 'intersex' rather than 'DSDs' when challenged. As it’s not a correct medical term.

dimorphism · 05/06/2023 09:20

All I've got is 'we're going to need a bigger flag'....

It's getting to almost include so much as to be exclusionary. Disabled people are a glaring omission surely? Being LGBTQI+++ doesn't stop you from being disabled

The whole making a flag to show you're part of a special group just seems so...key stage one. Is this seriously what well adjusted adults do, make up badges and flags and symbols for their special group?

This always comes to mind.

I think well adjusted is the key phrase there…

it’s getting silly now. I thought the whole point of the rainbow for the LGB community was to show we (all humanity) are under one sky regardless of any form of diversity but in particular sexuality. And rainbows are joyful and seen when sunshine streams through the rain, so a kind of “hold strong through the storm”, which is why we were putting them in our windows at the start of the first lockdown.

"I worry that at some point someone is going to decide the only solution is try turning civilisation off and on again."

The irony of that is in the bible after god did just this with the great flood he set a rainbow in the sky to show he would never do such a thing again. All we have to look forward to now is the end of days....

Oh Christ! (Ooh fitting for once) so we've already had the restart and they kicked it off with a rainbow. seems fitting this particular time period will finish with one as well!

To me it looks like one of the arrows on WW2 invasion maps.

Each year a new colour will be added to the flag and finally the old horizontal striped flag will be obliterated.

I haven't read the full thread yet so apologies if someone else has said this, but women on radfem Tumblr have discussed this with the idea that the arrow points right, with the intention of eventually covering up the rainbow, the way homosexuality is slowly being erased in the LGBT community.
