Queer people are getting their rights violated and removed in real time, and now we have ppl from all across the political spectrum arguing over a flag I have never seen before.

At this point, I’m convinced that the flag is an intentional psyop designed to sow division in the community over colours on a rectangle to distract from actual issues.

    Darlings, why don’t we just all fly the design we prefer, as long as it doesn’t include any hate symbols, or explicitly tries to exclude someone.

    As a bi person, I find an extra bi flag kinda superfluous, but if someone likes to have it on there, go for it.

      I just think of the pride/progresspride flag as the national pride flag. All the flags like the lesbian pride or bi pride flags are the state flags :3

        Few people around these parts care about their state flags (well, except Bavarians, I guess, they’re kinda our Texas if you think about it), but that’s still a fun analogy.

          We don’t put too fine a point on it either. But occasionally, I’ll look at a flagpole and see the national flag, a state flag, and sometimes a Canadian flag. It’s nice to see occasionally.

          Same with sexuality/gender flags. Makes me smile a little when I see a bi/lesbian/trans, etc. flag out in the wild :)
