This. That thing is hideous and the inclusion to the point of exclusion is so dumb.

Im all for pride but that flag isnt great looking. From a branding point of view surely it makes more sense to stick to one that just means inclusivity for everyone rather than changing it every year?

I was never into the pride branding/aesthetic. The concept is fine, I just wish there was a better expression of it. Rainbows are just kind of played out.

It's fine, but I like the original better. I feel the rainbow was already a great image for inclusivity and representation of everyone. This one doesn't bother me though.

The over/under on people I have tagged as "dumbass" or "chud" or "just asking questions" showing up is an easy 5.5, I'm taking the over

Flag is fine. I prefer the design of the OG pride flag, it's cleaner, but this one makes other people feel better, and there's nothing stopping you from flying either one

I've replaced three of these on my porch from vandalism in just the last year, quite the "perk" of living in a red state I guess

Never would have guessed that. I was thinking rainbow was gay/lesbian. White/Pink/Light blue were trans. If it had gray, that would be asexual. But brown and black were just drawing a blank.

This really isnt the hill i want to die on for what its worth but here is a quick breakdown of the various flags out there at the moment.

Absolutely fine for so many flags and I appreciate each group faces their own challenges. However I t does get confusing for someone like me who doesnt stay on top of these things to keep up to date with all the various flags now out there.

Sure, there are a ton of more specific flags for subsets of the community, but the all-encompassing Pride flag has had the rainbow and the rainbow+triangle, That's it

Here's a far-from-comprehensive list on queer rep flags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_flag
As well as some from other countries . . .
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:LGBT_pride_flags_by_country

The broad diversity of it is kinda the point. Per the usual, yes, the lesbian battle axe one is great.

Yeah I think they're doing fine on branding and community cohesion.

The basic design is similar to like the cuban and puerto rican flags. Though the triangle on those is a bit better due to starting in the corners.

To be fair the average Americans state flag is a bland navy blue field with an unremarkable coat of arms or state seal emblazoned in the center, so, its hard to blame us for not having a good understanding of proper vexillological theory.

Exactly. This is like complaining each state, and subsequent county in the US has it own flag, when the regular US Flag "should" be enough.

We should use Grey's standard of flag evaluation.

All the pride flags pretty much get a solid passing grade.

It's almost ingenuous. They should have let the white out of it

If you claim all the colors on a flag besides white, your enemy will be forced to only fly one flag...a big ol white one

Most flags are kind of ugly, including the American flag. There is a lot of clashing colors in the pride flag too.

The trans flag though looks really nice, as does the ACE one.

The regular pride flag was better. I understand why they added the black and brown, but there has to be a better way to incorporate those colors.

Then again, this flag isn't for me so who gives a shit what I think?
