Plus, we don't have to do anything to appease the Christian community. They don't own the rainbow. I don't mean to get all religious but I grew up in an extremely Christian home and God created the rainbow for a specific purpose and my step dad is always telling about how angry he is that "the gay community just feels like they can **** on my rainbow" I totally 100% agree with you that it's dumb and they don't own the rainbow. And it would be weird not having a rainbow it was just a thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is to be intersectional and support marginalized groups, and white people are not marginalized in this country. In which country? Do you mean America? Isn't the rainbow flag used worldwide where not every country has the same group of marginalized people? In my country, there are people who are marginalized because they're gay and fat/girly. Where is the color for fat gay people? And when will it stop, then? Isn't the inclusiveness already in the flag? Doesn't adding 2 more colors mean it didn't include them before? I know the intention is good, but the execution is just ridiculous. I bet we'll have fat, thin, short, tall, amputated symbols on top of those colors in the future and it'll be a total mess. 너와의 어색한 침묵이 차라리 좋아 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there white in Rainbow Flag ? I swear SJWs are gonna destroy iconic Rainbow Flag. FYI everybody, there is no brown or black in RAINBOW !!!!

thefamebitch 834 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This is so dumb its laughable. Keep the flag the same. But if we did then shouldn't we add some colors for Asian representation? Wait, but what about the Middle-Eastern gay communities who are the MOST PERSECUTED GROUP OF ALL LGBT PEOPLE? I never see people fighting so vigorously to include Asian, Arab or Middle-eastern representation in the community. Interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
