I'm livid. I'm disabled and I do not want to be represented on the LGBTQ+ flag.

Also this quote: Dayna Halliwell (she/her), Content and Engagement Manager at Evenbreak, led the collaboration and organised the Pride visit. She said: “It was very moving and amazing to see the reaction of disabled people in the audience. You could see the joy on their faces of being represented in the parade.”

It's just including the disabled people who already fall under the banner, as it were. The inclusion has been led by LGBTQ disabled people. They want this inclusion. It's not about you.

Well I'm disabled and I don't want my medical issues included with this ideological batshittery.

Is that OK with you? Or am I not the right kind of disabled to qualify for a voice?

Oh my. I hope the Met has the budget to repaint all their cars. NHS budget will need to stretch to new lanyards and ambulance paint jobs too. Councils will need to repaint their crossings, etc etc.

It's a bloody good job all that money isn't needed for anything else

If it's a true celebration of diversity, why isn't there a nod to biological women on there? Or the elderly? Or religion?

There is. You know the part of the flag that is to the right of the black lines? That is for biological women. And men.

It's definitely not a celebration of diversity, but of division. Humanity needs to throw away these flags and just learn to get on with and accept one another for who they are.

Until LGBTQ people are able to live their lives without fear of attack I will support their right to celebrate how ever they wish.

needsomewarmsunshine · 16/07/2024 09:43

The new flag can fuck right off as can the people promoting it, a right bunch of wankers.

Oh, bloody hell, now I don't know if I'm included in the inclusivity for being disabled, not-included for being a 'cis' white heterosexual, or excluded for being a terf 🤔

Have they included or excluded old people yet? That could clarify my inclusivity status! Or not.

Bloody love this post 🤣

@WaitingForMojo does that mean I’m homophobic against myself for not wanting my disabilities included in the flag?

Personally I’m extremely content in my sexuality and the fact that I’m bisexual and currently dating a woman. Being disabled still has absolutely nothing to do with my sexuality, it’s got jack shit to do with anyone but me and your attitude of “look at me, I’m disabled AND gay! Pity me, celebrate me!” is the reason so many are turning away from the community now. We’re sick of the attention seekers that tar us all with the same brush, we’re sick of the look at me attitude being the reason it’s STILL unsafe to be anything but straight. Reign it in and stop doing our community harm.

God that flag keeps getting uglier and uglier.

@SonicTheHodgeheg

LGB and TQ are different things too. The former are sexual identities and the latter are gender identities which are not the same at all.

This is what I don't get. Why group them all?

To legitimise fetishists and AGPs and probably a couple of paedos too who want to push boundaries and normalise themselves in wider society

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 16/07/2024 09:37

WaitingForMojo · 16/07/2024 09:05

It’s a celebration of diversity, is it not?

Unless you’re incredibly homophobic and don’t want to be associated, I don’t see why you’d have a problem with it.

If it's a true celebration of diversity, why isn't there a nod to biological women on there? Or the elderly? Or religion?

AlisonDonut · 16/07/2024 09:37

if there is a porn fetish about it, it goes on the flag.

That's the rule right?

paywalled · 16/07/2024 09:37

I can just imagine Stonewall denouncing anyone who disagrees with them as ableist now. As well as denouncing women's disabled spaces that don't allow men.

Lindy2 · 16/07/2024 09:37

Disability and diversity of any kind are not flags. The whole thing is ridiculous.

AlisonDonut · 16/07/2024 09:36

WaitingForMojo · 16/07/2024 09:09

Disabled and gay, and personally think it’s fab.

Why do you think it is 'fab'?

SonicTheHodgeheg · 16/07/2024 09:36

horseymum · 16/07/2024 09:27

If only so much effort was made to make things accessible for disabled people ( whether gay or not), that would make a massive difference to a huge number of people.

Also think of the good that the money and time they wasted on this nonsense could have done.

TemuSpecialBuy · 16/07/2024 09:35

Such bullshit

they are trying to put as many legitimate groups under one banner so if you have anything non positive to say about AGP perverts then it means you hate disabled people, and are inflicting LITERAL VIOLENCE against them and want them to die / be “unalive”
🙄🙄🙄

agree it’s literally become a south park episode

god help us all

DoIWantTo · 16/07/2024 09:34

I don’t want representation on the pride flag for being disabled, my disability has jack shit to do with sexuality.

JohnnyAndTheDead · 16/07/2024 09:03

Why not?

Show quote history

Because PRIDE is about SEXUALITY, not disabilities

It's like going back to the days when guys and lesbian were considered sick in some way

Pride has been taken over by perverts and fetishists, some of whom have perversions about sex with sick, disabled and mentally ill people and this looks like a slow burn way to 'fight' for the right to have sex with people who are simply trying to live a life free from discrimination and may not be able to give consent to sex

What next dogs? Farm animals? Sea creatures?

SonicTheHodgeheg · 16/07/2024 09:34

horseymum · 16/07/2024 09:26

If you're disabled and white hetrosexual, you're excluded I think!

Call yourself a lesbian transwoman and you will be fine.

Agapornis · 16/07/2024 09:32

It's a disability job board that came up with an advertising gimmick.

I was at London Pride, no one else was carrying this flag.

Foxesandsquirrels · 16/07/2024 09:31

That flag is ridiculously busy looking. This is starting to feel like satire. Or an episode of south park
