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.
State flags are anti-US because the American flag is already all inclusive.
I think a more direct comparison would be flying the US flag with a state flag covering half of it.
Personal identity flags are perfectly fine, alongside the rainbow pride flag or just on their own. Just don’t cover over the “everyone” flag with specific identities. That’s like the opposite of the flag’s meaning.
The union jack shows a prime example of the opposite
You mean the flag that excludes 1/4 of the membership of the union? Combining specific symbols to try and make groups feel included only ever ends up making another group feel excluded. No one is arguing against symbols for trans people, or intersex, or POC people, just that the standard Rainbow flag was intended to represent them all.
Technically yes but they are the other way around.
They represent a part of the USA, not try to expand the country’s flag by adding more stuff.
They are like the trans flag or the other specific ones.
Remember when they kept adding stars to the USA’s national flag every time a new state joined the union?
I don’t care, im German. However, since the stars explicitly represent one state each, it makes a lot more sense than to add things to something that already means everyone.
Its a big difference.
The original 13-star flag supposedly represented everyone too. It seems pretty hypocritical to say that government flags can be modified to add representation but queer flags shouldn’t.
And no star represents any specific state either. All are uniform and identical to ensure that none carry anymore weight than the others, and the layout of the stars completely changes everytime new ones get added.

Country flags are anti-humanity because the UN flag is already all inclusive…
(actually, that one might be true, with all the warmongering populist nationalisms and whatnot)
