Very few Alphabet people in that OP tweet defending the nonsense.

I did see one individual who felt the need to include her veganism in her Twitter handle, but we drowned that particular kitten in the river.

They need to go back and re-do it AGAIN.

I do not see a color for indigenous, interracial, non-conforming, hetero-non-binary, left-handed, autistic savants in the new design.

I DEMAND to be heard! I DEMAND to be included!

How dare they deny my humanity!!!

From a completely aesthetic view, attributing no meaning to any of the colors or designs, the brown/black chevron absolutely ruins it.

This is getting comically absurd. All the grievance groups and weirdos making sure they get “represented” on this flag.

They should stick a clown head right in the middle of it.

What a world..

I saw an older lady that fought for "gay rights" back in the day and many of the older fighters regret getting involved because of what it has come to. Those involved now are no different than BLM and ANTIFA .

So a little digging yielded a page from the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health (the jokes write themselves) from 2022.

quote:

Many groups within the LGBTQIA2-S community have their own Pride flags. There are specific flags celebrating the identities of transgender, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual, asexual, and other communities. Still, the rainbow-striped flag has historically been the most used and recognized symbol representing Pride for the LGBTQIA2-S community overall.


It appears that the purple circle is for mental patients who identify as Intersex.

quote:

In 2021, Valentino Vecchietti designed an intersex-inclusive Pride flag, which includes a purple circle over a yellow triangle as a reference to the Intersex pride flag that was created in 2013 by Morgan Carpenter. Purple and yellow are used as intentional contrasts to blue and pink, which are typically thought of as gendered colors. Like BIPOC and transgender communities, intersex people have largely been underrepresented – or outright ignored – within broader LGBTQIA2-S movements.


I would posit that the Intersex category is likely "ignored" because no reasonable adult could define this specific mental illness.

Volvo wades into the mud and tries to explain the entire mess.

As you might imagine, there's loads and loads of inconsistencies and contradictions... mostly are to be expected, since we're seeking logical explanations for the ravings of mentally ill individual. Trying to find rational themes among irrational behavior is a fool's errand. Note:



quote:

Transgender Flag
The Transgender Flag was first created in 1999 by Monica Helms, a transgender woman. Light blue and pink are featured because they’re the traditional colors associated with baby boys and girls, respectively. The white stands for those who are intersex, transitioning or those who don´t feel identified with any gender.
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from the sex that they were assigned at birth. According to Amnesty International, 1.5 million transgender people live in the European Union, making up 0.3% of the population. And more than 1.4 million trans adults living in the U.S., which is about 0,5% of the population.
Violence against the queer community affects trans people of color the most. Therefore, the Transgender Flag is so important! The trans community needs representation and resources to be visible without fear.


quote:

New Progress Pride Flag
Given the evolving nature of the LGBTQ+ community and society at large, the Progress Pride Flag integrates many of these flags into one. Thankfully, it has been redesigned to place a greater emphasis on “inclusion and progression.” Our community is such a huge umbrella of different kind of people and that is what makes us so special, that is what makes us so unique and that is what makes us so powerful.
The modern pride flag now includes stripes to represent the experiences of people of color, as well as stripes to represent people who identify as transgender, gender nonconforming (GNC) and/or undefined.
Daniel Quasar’s flag includes the colors of the trans flag, as well as black and brown stripes harkening back to 2017 Philadelphia Pride Flag, which sought to further represent the queer and trans identities of black and brown people. Those two stripes also represent those living with HIV/AIDS, people who have passed from the virus and the overall stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS that remains today.

In 2021, the Progress Pride Flag was revised by Valentino Vecchietti of Intersex Equality Rights UK to incorporate the intersex flag. In the new design, the chevron of the Progress Flag includes a yellow triangle with a purple circle in the middle.


Apparently the Intersex crowd wasn't happy with the white stripe that was added in 2019 with the "New Progress Pride Flag", and need their own thing. After all, they have their own flag, too.


quote:

Intersex Flag
This flag went through a variety of iterations before the current Intersex Flag emerged. Previous versions embraced the rainbow that is often associated with queer pride, while others used colors like blue and pink, which are found on the transgender flag.
In 2013, Morgan Carpenter chose the colors yellow and purple for the intersex flag. Morgan moved away from the rainbow symbolism and selected these colors because neither is associated with the social constructs of the gender binary.
The circle, perfect and unbroken, represents the wholeness of intersex people. It is a reminder that intersex people are perfect the way they are or choose to be.

It's a bit misogynist that bears get a flag and twinks don't.

I think the x post saying that this should devolve to a black flag seems right.

Black is the absorbtion of the entire spectrum. It's the ultimate unity.

Gays against groomers


You lay with dogs you’re gonna get fleas.

Blah, blah, blah, we just wanted to get married and have baked goods.

You could have shut down the insanity with the quickness. You had social media and the MSM at your beckon call when it all went sideways, but you did nothing, as a matter of fact most of you sat on your hands with a smug smile on your face.

The perverts will cram you back in the closet for another 1,000 years and not a tear will be shed.

While all true, it's beneficial to draw attention to the fact that lots of rank & file gays and lesbians do not agree with the wholesale hijacking of the movement that has ironically transpired with the "victory" they felt they received a decade ago with the Obegerfell decision by SCOTUS.

This is what Gays Against Groomers seeks to shine a light on.

As a gay who does not include himself in anything lgbtqia$/1¥_** I have never and would never wear any rainbow bullshite, I wouldn’t put it on my car, my house, etc.

I simply don’t understand the need for bullshite flags like this — it’s ridiculous and a clearly desperate attempt to try and expand their freak show tent to include as many freaks as they can.

They can frick off entirely.

Personally, I've never understood the push among the gay and lesbian crowd to ensure that the majority of the media that they consume to be homosexual-centric. What is the purpose of a cable network that shows what are to be accepted as "gay friendly" programming? And what exactly is it about The Facts of Life that Logo feels makes those reruns "acceptable"?

Mindy Cohn (Natalie) is an outspoken "ally". So?

It's doubly so with music. If you're a lesbian, what difference does it make that Melissa Ethridge is, too?

No straight man is buying the new Eminem album because he likes reverse cowgirl, too.

Very fitting that the flag itself looks mentally ill.
