FATCAT 60,888 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The point of the rainbow flag is that it matches the rainbow, pretty positive brown isn't a staple color in the rainbow, and black is every color combined. It's not like Yellow stands for a group, or red stands for a group. But hey, make whatever flag you want. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisTEAne 21,059 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 idk, it would be kinda counter-intuitive, 'cause the rainbow is supposed to symbolize the inclusive nature of the LGBTQ+ community, irrespective of cultural (ethnicity, gender) or biological (sex, race) markers. a color itself in the flag, as far as i know, does not represent a separate segment of the community—i mean, the opposite is the whole point of the symbol. if you hurt taylor swift, i'll hurt you back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Some GGD members: The LGBT flag is already inclusive. Same GGD members: Keep your black and brown issues out of our gay pride, we don't care! (Again, I don't think the flag needs to be changed, but the lack of understanding people seem to have about what intersectionality means is a bit off-putting. People need to stop dismissing this as some kind of aesthetic issue and address the problem). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Regardless of whether you want the flag changed, this is the core issue facing the LGBT community and something that we're going to have to address: in·ter·sec·tion·al·i·ty ˌin(t)ərsekSHəˈnalədē/ noun the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.

420 1,042 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It doesn't look right as a "rainbow." Black doesn't belong there. Brown is just an awful color. And where is white, then? Is it the result of those 6 colors mixing together or something? 너와의 어색한 침묵이 차라리 좋아 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 14,031 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Unrelated to probably most complaints or praise, the size wouldn't work for standard flag sizes anymore and would make their production way more expensive. Idk, I get what they're saying, but just redesign the flag, don't add stripes like it's a military uniform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeless 184 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 If there's an issue of feeling excluded from the rainbow flag then istead of adding those colors I think it would be productive to make the flag simply the primary colors because they create any color imaginable it will also move the LGBT community away from the rainbow to get the Christian community off our ass for taking the rainbow from them.

I agree that it's not aesthetically pleasing, and I don't think the flag should be changed, but can we stop asking why there's no white? The whole point is to be intersectional and support marginalized groups, and white people are not marginalized in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wouldn't get it if we did RGB and it would look too much like a lot of other countries' flags. Plus, we don't have to do anything to appease the Christian community. They don't own the rainbow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A RAINBOW IS !?!?!?! WHY NO WHITE STRIPE THEN !?!?!?* It'd be hilarious if it weren't so predictable and tragic There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.
