*Shrug* To me, that flag is for people who declare themselves "I'm LGBTQ" or, if that's too much of a tongue-twister, "I'm queer" - those who purposefully avoid that horrible G-word.
The 'old' flag seems to work just fine for gays like me. If anyone wants to cancel me or anyone else for using the 'wrong flag', well, that's their problem.

Again cultural appropriation only works one way. This isn't the pride flag. It's the opposite of it. Making it worthless.

R20 - no, apparently some graphic designer in Portland or Seattle (?) created this a couple of years ago and so now we must all adopt it.
We have to resist this bullshit. The rainbow flag was inclusive enough and they know it.
Now we have to push aside the rainbow to insert BLM and Trans representation? Does anyone not see how offensive this is?
We can't be everything to everyone. I don't see any black or trans groups changing THEIR flags to include gays and lesbians. And they shouldn't - separate fights, that we can all support. But it can't take over your initial purpose and intent.

I need to be represented as well. I am a fat old gay bear with Aspberger's and Diabetes. I will let you all know when I find a color I like.

So, the scat people get a stripe, but there’s no “Golden” stripe for the golden showers community, that doesn’t see right picking and choosing at random which communities get represented?

Strange that the provenance is so obscure, yet the "donate" button is so prominent. My first impression is that BLM has coopted the symbol (which is ugly in any case - who needs it except to identity the rapidly diminishing number of gay bars). Also strange that 6 years after the passage of gay marriage there's a need to add upraised fists to the imagery - as if getting what you wanted isn't satisfying but has instead open up new litanies of obscure grievances backed up by threats of violence. Nice.

The old rainbow flag worked as a visual statement because of its simplicity and its proximity to how real rainbows actually look.
This is just clutter, Clutter, CLUTTER!

I really, truly cannot wrap my head around the need to “add” people of color to this flag. It’s just complete post-modern nonsense.

I loathe this flag in all its formats.
Mainstream hets regard the original format as inoffensive Hippy Flags or Color Spectrum Flags.
I see them as Public Relations exercise to cajole the general public to think gays are inoffensive eunuchs who are safe to have around children.
The same Public Relations push has erased the word 'sex' and replaced it with 'gender'. And they erased the word 'gay' and replaced it with the unpronounceable acronym.

The majority of people aren’t changing their pride flag to this ridiculous overreach. It’s simple and it’s iconic. Relax people, it’s not going ANYWHERE.

Let’s hope. It certainly seems to be getting a lot of attention, R42.
I never use any kind of flag myself, so ultimately this “update” doesn’t affect me, though it’s revolting to me in terms of politics and aesthetics. (The original flag is also revolting to me, and I think a person would have to be a bit basic to embrace it.)

A simple rainbow will suffice. It’s a RAINBOW. it’s all inclusive.
No need for other symbols and colors.
In fact, you lose my support at that point.
Any other “centrists” in favor of all inclusiveness?!?

I say we let the TQIA2SBIPOC+ have it. They would implode in a matter of days and wind up with a Jackson Pollock painting as their catch-all symbol of inclusivity. Meanwhile, the LGB could design an entirely new flag, or even better, no flag at all. I've always found them tacky and excessive.

Maybe it's just because we are in a interesting period of time, but it now feels like black trans pride month. All the marketing I am getting is celebrating black or black trans as the poster people for the month. I guess it's time to share the spotlight, but I don't see much of myself in this new version of pride. I rather not conflate pride with BLM as I think BLM is leans more towards anti-gay.
