I don't know what type of thing Q is, I have no concept for it. Then they got race involved somehow. What do any of these have in common? "Queer" has been adopted as a sort of general-purpose term for any non-conforming gender identity or sexuality. Basically, anyone that isn't cis/straight is queer, with further subdivisions as needed. It's effectively the "other" part of LGBTQ (which I feel makes it kind of silly to keep adding new letters after that, but that's another discussion). SKARDAVNELNATE posted... This video doesn't help to understand it any better. Is each color suppose to correspond with one of the letters? That holds up with the race but the other colors are used to reference some sort of wellness concepts. The standard rainbow is the original Pride flag, generally meant to convey a message of "look at all these colours that are different but they're still happily together," since the underlying goal of Pride is the acceptance of diversity. White, pink, and pale blue are the trans pride flag, which I couldn't tell you the specific origins of, but it's pretty common practice now to incorporate it into the general Pride flag. Black and brown are in there to recognize that Pride has kind of been taken over by white people, which is a problem because A) A disproportionate number of the LGBTQ people that began the fight for gay rights were not white, and B) Because LGBTQ PoC's generally have a much harder time than white ones do, even more so than what you'd get by just adding racial discrimination on top of the anti-LGBTQ stuff. --- This is my signature.
