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?

Why is there a new flag?

Because the new one is harder to make certain dubious symbols out of when you have four flags and arrange them in a certain way.

Yes, quite right. It's implying that the 'rainbow' as was was exclusively for white people. Which is nonsensical bullshit. It's like a head pat, really, 'we'll give you your very own stripe', while implying whiteness remains the larger part of the flag. Good spot.

I thought that people with DSD had asked to be left out of the alphabet etc? Don’t suppose they were asked either

The intersex symbol was added to the progress flag by an intersex designer.

Not sure why everyone is calling this new, it’s been around for ages.

Hamfish · 04/06/2023 13:31

It’s really small on my screen and I read ‘intersex’ as ‘intense people’ and things are so bonkers these days I just went with it.

Ah. Thanks for the info.

A bit more of the 'yes a lot of the community don't agree or want the political stuff being pushed on them, or agree that they share in that representation rather than find it unhelpful/offensive, but I'm still gonna do it anyway and claim it represents everyone' thing, like lesbians deal with. Which again makes it a flag of a political group with their politics in common and not a flag representative of those communities since they just ignore and exclude the members not politically compliant.

It's been destruction added to at this point and just needs ditching.

Disability pride flag can't seem to reach a universal agreed standard.

It's all to include more people to get them to feel included therefore support the aims of an organisation that actually won't be helping you at all if you aren't TQ.On

And obviously of course to make money.

MagpiePi · 04/06/2023 08:36

I thought ‘intersex’ people didn’t want to be included in all this nonsense.

I thought that was outdated and DSD was the correct terminology.

This flag just needs to be burnt.

Sigh.

Some of that is exclusionary towards hidden disabilities.

They don't need anything as they're always the first to pipe up that they're vegan!

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!

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

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?

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.

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'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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.
