Of course I read your previous post regarding the flag - and I agree with you. I was quite shocked about Egypt's posts, how "divided" the LGBTQ+ community in the USA seems to be in comparsion to the German scene. I don't think that we are singling out POC here in Germany like Egypt described in his previous posts - with the exception of mentioning "sexual preferences" on dating apps as well as "body-shaming". That's the reason why I @dded you. Thank you nonetheless very much for your answer! MAKE LOVE NOT WAR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poker 3,770 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's just a flag. Add a color. Erase a color. It doesn't change reality. But if people will feel good about adding a new color, then do it. Kindness rules all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, the only reason you claim to have no seen something that is so ****ing prevalent in this community, is because you are blind to it. It doesn't affect you, so it doesn't exist is basically what is happening in your mind. The only way that you are not seeing profiles with comments like that is if you live in a place that is very ethnically uniform, like Asia or many parts of Europe. In countries where there are many different kinds and colors of people, those comments are extremely prevalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Married the Night 3,955 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Each color represents something. And guess what? None of them represent ANY races. Like red means life. Green means nature. Adding the extras makes no sense. Edit: It is most commonly flown with the redstripe on top, as the colors appear in a natural rainbow. Aside from the obvious symbolism of a mixed LGBT community, the colors were determined to symbolize: life (red), healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), harmony/peace (blue), and spirit (purple/violet).

Actually I think I just didn't realize how uniform Germans are, I thought it was a more diverse place but it's like 99% white. Oops. Well then you are even more blind to the issues facing poc which makes it even worse that you are so against adding black and brown. You are the definition of "it doesn't affect me, I don't care."
