    For those that view this particular version of the pride flag redundant: Yes, you are technically correct. The rainbow is supposed to symbolize inclusion.

    However, recent political movements seek to divide and exclude particular groups from the queer community, namely trans people. By choosing a flag that explicitly includes those colors, you are explicitly denouncing that division.

      And by choosing to accept the rainbow flag as all inclusive, you also denounce division.

      The idea that we need to specifically call out everyone in need of coverage is asinine, and in itself divisive.

        This flag is better since there are a surprising number of gay people who are anti-trans. Completely bananas if you ask me.

        This is the same argument people use for “all lives matter” and anti-DEI.

        In a perfect world, it should be equal, but to make this argument is ignoring the reality that it’s not.

      My autisitic son insists that pink isn’t a real color and has no business being included in any rainbow.

    Did it have to be one of those ugly and redundant derivatives of the perfectly fine rainbow flag of diversity?

      whoever designed the flag probably figured they have to add all the colors, so all of them would feel included and none of them would feel offended

      The black and brown also represent a completely different movement, it should just be the rainbow flag.

        But did you know black people can be gay? Betcha didn’t. Glad we added that to the flag to remind you.
