I still get the classic flag 🏳️🌈
The whole point was that the colors aren’t skin color… They’re your goddamn soul. Being gay is all about being skittles on the inside, and those who attempt to divide us keep scribbling dumb ass skin colors on a perfectly balanced design.
I’m brown, I’m bisexual, I don’t feel any “more represented” by this flag. All I feel is someone didn’t go to design school.
It’s meant to acknowledge intersectionality. The ways that minority identities can overlap, creating more complex lived experiences for some individuals.
Edit: I want to say, yes, I understand why those colors break right through the middle of the rainbow flag, but why? Does it really express what you hope for it to express?
And what abort white people? Where are their colors? I feel like this flag divides more than it brings anyone together. Seems like it only succeeded in bringing together a lot of SJW “political-correctness-gone-mad” types but not so much the average gay person.
Lol please, I’m not complaining about white people not being in there as much as I mean to criticize that you can’t represent everyone on a flag by skin color. That would have to be every color. I think it’s ridiculous to even aspire to add these extra colors, because it negates what the rainbow is supposed to represent,
Don’t quote me on this, but I feel like the reason the arrow is in the middle of this one is so it doesn’t get covered up by cars or something. Usually it’s at the end

I don’t see how it does, to be honest.

White people don’t need to be represented in a flag, because white people are already represented everywhere.
FFS this is some all lives matter bullshit.

All human skin colours (including “white”) are shades of brown. The flag has a brown stripe for people of colour.
