I'm personally more here for this:

But I'd never try to impose my views on others...

What? Why? Doesn't make any sense to me... Please just leave it as it is.

red: light;

orange: healing;

yellow: sun;

green: calmness;

blue: art;

lilac: the spirit;

 

Why would you add race to the flag?

I'm sorry but the colors and the meaning have a certain subject and "people of color" is not matching to it.

Red = Life

Orange = Healing

Yellow = Sunlight

Green = Nature

Blue = Serenity

Violet = Spirit

So, suddenly, Black and Brown for "people of color"? isn't it dividing instead of uniting? why certain people needs to have a special explicit representing on the flag?

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

Totally agree with this, green and blue people get too much representation in the media

not saying it's a bad thing BUT (:rip:) rainbow flag doesn't represent anyone's skin colour so it would kinda go against the basic idea of it

but I agree PoC people are often marginalised and discriminated within LGBTQIA+ community, which is sad

i think the real problem here is how the LGBT flag is mostly only associated with cis white gay men and therefore the rest of us feel unrepresented, specially LGBT people of color

I completely agree. Gay culture has been completely appropriated from gay men of colour and black women and now for some reason whenever anyone thinks of an LGBT person its a white gay men. And im tired of it and so are millions of other coloured gay men and women.

No :awkney:

Then it wouldn't be a rainbow :awkney:

It would be a rainbow and a random brown and black :awkney:

What I'm trying to get across is that it's unnecessary, extra, and is messing with something that shouldn't be messed with :awkney:

/thread

Edit: Sorry if this came off harsh but seriously! The rainbow flag has been a symbol of pride for LGBTQ people for decades, it would be so problematic and divisive to change it.

I don't think the flag needs to be changed, but the fight of the LGBT community IS the fight of all marginalized groups, that's intersectionality. I don't think LGBT people should ignore the issues or other marginalized groups, like black and hispanic people.

I completely agree with this sentiment - and of course, changing our iconography is not going to fix the very important problem of inclusivity that the LGBT movement (and the community) has.

Each color has it's own meaning 

Red life/sexuality
Orange healing/friendship
Yellow vitality/energy
Green serenity/nature
Blue harmony/artistry (some say magic)
Purple spirit/gratitude

 

which covers everyone in the LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community.... plus black already has a meaning on the rainbow flag

nonsense, LGBT already includes all races because it's a sexual description, not racial
