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.

    They represent a part of the USA, not try to expand the country’s flag by adding more stuff.

    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.
