Page 3 | LGBTQ etc revised flag.

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?

Ugh! I messed up my last post. I was going to say "don't mention the furries, lest they appear". There was a thread on KiwiFarms about the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel where one of their team has just declared themselves Emily. The farm's have noticed a lot of posts that are 99% certainly from that individual about furry lifestyle stuff between him and his partner. One tweet complained about how so many kids were "sex-negative" because the Church and puritans preached their morality at them.

Furries! How can the concept of pride be compatible with that? Sloth, gluttony, lust and envy I can see. Pride? No.

Maybe it means that their next self ID target group - be any sex you like, be any colour you like?

I think the organisations that speak on behalf of people with DSDs have been quite vocal that they don’t like the term intersex and then aren’t keen on TRAs appropriating them as and when it suits them.

None of the people involved in making these flags are actually representing the communities they claim to properly. There’s no singular opinion in any of the groups.

But, weirdly reflecting most LGB people’s views on the T seem to be the least important part of the entire flag iteration project.

I think they are just going to have to seperate out all the flags into different colours. Whoever "they" are. The flag committee.

Furries do indeed have a pride flag. But they have lots of options. (I'll stop now i promise)

Which Microsoft included when they did their big inclusive logo screen thing. 😡

On that topic, MS recently forced the pride flag into their task bar in Windows 11 (assuming you have widgets enabled). You can disable it apparently by setting your region to Saudi Arabia. Classic MS virtue signalling whenever it's not necessary, tucking it away when it might.

@Boiledbeetle I like the LGB flag with the triangle cut out. Simple to reproduce which is essential. Allows someone to support gay rights without having that support be assumed to be for anyone else trying to hitch a ride.

And let's not forget the most icky of Pride flags the MAP pride flag

Yep. I'm guessing AuADHD

Maybe they will be fully inclusive of all next year and include gender critical 🤔

I'm hoping more towards by next year sanity has taken back control! And Pride can go back to what it was before it was invaded by heterosexual people and guys in leather dog outfits.

SinnerBoy · 04/06/2023 14:43

Whatever it's supposed to be, it's horrendous, with far too much going on. It looks like something an interior designer might have come up with in 1973, after a few too many goes on LSD.

I'm beginning to think that's the idea. The original gets smaller every year.

The attached two have been on Twitter the last few days.

I like the one with the stitches showing its been in a battle.

Can foresee an 'lgb only' flag in that shape with the triangle cut out catching on.

Someone with a good eye for marketing? If there is a minor change each year, then you have to buy a new flag. Simple

Where’s the bit for vegans?

It's cotton, so not vegan friendly. Do you know how many boll weevils died to make that flag?

NonHypotheticalLurkingParent · 04/06/2023 10:17

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.

Please tell me you mocked up that vegan flag as I really can't tell what's a spoof and what isn't anymore.

I still say burn all flags except the flags of countries. Not needed.

No, sorry. It seems to actually exist!

What has being a person of colour got to do with non-heterosexual love?
is pride not about embracing non-heterosexual relationships? Have I got that wrong all these years?

Indeed

Some of that is exclusionary towards hidden disabilities.

On furry or even further (care i look to see if there is a furry one?) investigating it seems they got rid of the strobe effect one and replaced with this one. Line description includes hidden disabilities!
